Get Ready | 2026 Planning Dataste Preview Releases Sept. 30
Geopath remains on schedule to release the 2026 planning dataset preview on September 30, 2026.
To help members understand the 2026 planning dataset more in-depth, we’ve scheduled a series of webinars to review the detailed updates that are included in this new dataset. Geopath is also developing a comprehensive set of resources, including one-pagers and instructional videos, which will be made available as we approach the release date.
This preview period gives Geopath members the opportunity to explore the new dataset, get familiar with its structure and improvements, and begin integrating it into internal tools and workflows. Geopath plans to transition this dataset to become the “default” dataset within the Insights Suite and Geopath’s API in November 2026.
Please note the 2024 planning dataset will no longer be available in the Insights Suite and API as of September 30.
An outline of our upcoming webinars can be found below:
