Good day Everyone,
I'm George and a new member to the group. I'm excited knowing the wealth of knowledge that sits in this amazing network and the opportunity to join/follow the interesting discussions.
I'm pleased to introduce myself and The Open Business Group a bespoke B2B events company operating out of South Africa. We've officially opened production for the Slope Stability X’26 Conference, and we are actively researching the most pressing challenges across the slope stability spectrum to shape a powerful, practitioner-led agenda.
A major focus for 2026 is the expanding and critical role of geospatial solutions. High-resolution DEMs, LiDAR, InSAR, drone photogrammetry, and GIS-integrated monitoring now underpin how mining and geotechnical teams understand terrain, detect risk early, model behaviour, and manage environmental compliance.
As we build the programme, we’re inviting geospatial professionals to share the topics they believe are most relevant, innovative, and urgently needed. From digital twins and real-time dashboards to remote sensing for hazard detection and ESG reporting—your guidance will help ensure the conference reflects the realities and opportunities shaping today’s fieldwork and operational decision-making.
feel free to connect with me at george@theopenbusinessgroup.com with your insights or submit your topic suggestions, and join the conversation at: https://theopenbusinessgroup.com/slope-stability-x26/.
We look forwrad to your feedback.
Regards, George
