What We Can Expect from 2022’s GEO Week

 

GEO Week is set to take flight in just a couple of days and the show’s exhibit floor is sold out, even with the lingering Omicron challenges, meaning the UAV and Survey industries ares amped to get back to business and share in a year+ of massive industry movement and validation for drones.

We caught up with Diversified Communications Editorial Director, Jeremiah Karpowicz, as well as Editorial Analyst and Conference Chair, Carla Lauter, to learn what we can expect from this years LiDAR extravaganza.

Abridged Thoughts:

What is truly neat about GEO Week is that these are people who largely have not played huge roles at those mainstream drone conferences. What a treat it will be to hear from these people and to learn about their expertise, and it’s always great to broaden and hear from different viewpoints, so I was really excited to see the lineup.” – Carla Lauter

“We actually have had a session with the name GEO Week for the past two years as part of the IMF conference. When we postponed, initially made that into a webinar as well because this is on the top of everybody’s mind, right?

We’ve seen this big evolution in LiDAR technology and the sensors themselves, but also in the ways in which they can be delivered, as you know, as a payload on UAV and fixed wing aircraft and everything in between. And so we wanted to put together a panel where we could really discuss what the trends are, what types of things might be theoretical, which might be actually practical, something that people can use tomorrow” – Jeremiah Karpowicz

What Data-Driven Assumptions Do Clients Need to Rethink
December 23, 2025

Too often, organizations treat consumables as a simple unit-cost line item, overlooking how material selection directly affects efficiency, equipment longevity, and environmental monitoring outcomes. When clients rethink this assumption through a data-driven lens—especially in cleaning and disinfection—they uncover returns in reduced waste, improved EM performance, and the ability to run more effective campaigns throughout the…

Wiping or Mopping: What Would You Demo and Why
December 23, 2025

For decades, cleanroom wiping practices have borrowed heavily from the semiconductor industry, but the quarter-fold method and its standard polyester substrate are increasingly showing their age. Today’s environments demand more durable, higher-performance materials that last longer, reduce waste, and deliver more consistent results. For Benchmark Products, the real demo isn’t just wiping or mopping—it’s…

What’s the One Mistake You Correct Most Often in Cleaning or Disinfecting
December 23, 2025

In cleaning and disinfecting, the most common mistake isn’t doing too little—it’s doing too much with the wrong product. Facilities often default to highly aggressive disinfectants like sporicides in a “spray and pray” mindset, overlooking how overuse can quietly degrade equipment, damage surfaces, and even shorten a facility’s operational lifespan. Smart disinfection is about…

How Can Switching to a Better-Performing Wipe Impact Efficiency and Contamination Control
December 23, 2025

Switching to a higher-performing wipe can be a deceptively simple upgrade with outsized operational impact, especially in controlled environments where efficiency and contamination control are non-negotiable. When a single wipe lasts eight to twelve times longer, teams reduce waste, minimize changeovers, and improve environmental monitoring consistency—cutting down on costly investigations over the course of the…
