Finnish Geospatial Research Institute (National Land Survey of Finland) and Aalto University are pleased to invite you to the 19th International Conference on Location Based Services (LBS2025), which will take place in Otaniemi, Espoo, Finland on 7-9 May 2025. The conference is a joint effort of the ICA Commission on Location Based Services, the Commission on Digital Transformation of National Mapping Agencies, and the Commission on Cognitive Issues in Geographic Information Visualization.
Built on the success of previous conferences in this series, LBS 2025 is addressed to scholars and researchers, digital industry / market operators, and students of different backgrounds (scientific, engineering and humanistic) whose work is either focused on or relevant to location-based services (LBS). The conference will offer a common ground to colleagues from various disciplines and practices where they can meet, interact and exchange knowledge, experience, plans and ideas on how LBS can and could be improved and on how it will influence both science and society.
