The biennial event Photogrammetric Week (PhoWo) was initiated by Carl Pulfrich as a “vacation course in photogrammetry” in 1909; since 1973 it has been held at the University of Stuttgart. Over the years remote sensing and geoinformatics together with photogrammetry have become the major subject areas of this conference. Today, the Photogrammetric Week enjoys international recognition as an upgrading seminar and a platform for the exchange of experience. And the new organizer is as well committed to continue the successful history of this event.
The lectures will focus on trends and achievements of the following topics:
- Sensors and Data Acquisition
- Photogrammetry, Computer Vision and Remote Sensing
- Geoinformatics
The presentations will be in English. Sufficient time will be allocated for discussions.
The program will be supplemented with demonstrations and comments on practical examples in the afternoons. The fringe events will offer sufficient opportunity for personal contacts.
In addition, a tutorial on “Remote Sensing – From Basics to advanced Methods” will be held by the Institute for Photogrammetry (ifp) on Sunday afternoon, September 10, 2017. The fundamentals of optical and radar image sensors (SAR) are highlighted and we will emphasize on SAR interferometry and modern methods for land cover classification.
The AIMS 2017 Conference will be held in the beautiful Hunter Valley wine district of NSW.
Following on from the largest international gathering on mine surveyors at last year’s ISM2016, AIMS – The Australian Institute of Mine Surveyors – is keeping the standard high with a packed agenda of high-quality key speakers, interesting technical papers and a broad range of industry exhibitors.
More information will be available soon, please bookmark this page and return regularly to keep up to date.
The AIMS Conference is the premier event of the year in the AIMS calendar.
The Construction Innovation 2017 Forum brings together thought leaders and practitioners from across the world to provide insight into how leading firms are utilising technological advancements to deliver innovative best practice solutions in the building and construction industry.
We are particularly excited by our international keynote speakers who will provide a global context for how innovative technologies and practices are helping industry to achieve significant improvements in efficiency and productivity.
Complementing these presentations will include Australian practitioners providing attendees with case study demonstrations and ideas about how forward thinking firms can integrate building information modelling into their everyday practices with demonstrable improvements in cost, timeliness, risk management, productivity and on-site coordination.
Workshops
The 2017 forum will also feature workshops on each day, allowing delegates to choose between practical content that best suits their own job role, experience and educational needs.
Networking and Exhibition
The forum exhibition hall will once again showcase a tailored selection of industry leading exhibitors, and will provide excellent networking, including opportunities to speak with exhibitors, presenters and workshop facilitators. At the conclusion of both days we invite all delegates to join us for networking drinks to be held in the exhibition foyer.

The Tasmanian Surveying and Spatial Conference for 2017 is being held at C3 Convention Centre, and will run for a full day on Friday the 15th of September. The TSSC is followed by the Tasmanian Spatial Excellence Awards dinner, which is being held at Cascade Brewery.
The conference theme is ‘Locating the Future’ and will include keynote and plenary presentations from across Australia, as well as a selection of presentations from around the state. An interactive forum will close the day with an opportunity for participation from the audience.
The ISPRS Geospatial Week 2017 (ISPRS GSW 2017) will be held in Wuhan, China, from September 18th – 22nd, 2017. This third ISPRS Geospatial Week will be organised by Wuhan University and will be the most important ISPRS event in the year 2017.
The ISPRS GSW 2017 will be focused on the recent research developments and future trends related to geospatial information acquisition, extraction from point clouds, optical/SAR imagery, and ubiquitous sensors, Smart City and global changes, geospatial information mining, quality control and Geo-Big data processing, indoor 3D mapping and navigation, and UAV/UAS innovation applications. With a five-day colorful scientific program, people from geospatial academia and industry will be able to share research ideas, present latest research achievements, and discuss possible collaborations. It will be a very good opportunity for you to meet with top scientists, experts, researchers, and users in the field of Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, and Spatial Information Sciences.
A number of awards and competitions will also be organized during this ISPRS GSW 2017, including awards for best papers, and best posters, as well as benchmark competitions. Several technical/industrial exhibitions will be organized, which will present to you the advances of new geospatial technologies and solutions (e.g., Smart Cities, UAV/UAS).

The world – including Australia – is on the threshold of a new era of innovation and change with the rise of the Industrial Internet. It is taking place through the convergence of the global industrial system with the power of advanced computing, analytics, low-cost sensing and new levels of connectivity permitted by the Internet. The deeper meshing of the digital world with the world of machines and with people holds the potential to bring about profound transformation to global industry. We are living in the fourth Industrial Revolution.
The Industrial Internet of Things Summit will bring together some of the most exciting and innovative case studies – locally and internationally – with keynote presentations and panel discussions from leading Industrial Internet stakeholders. They will address the most significant challenges the Industrial Internet of Things is facing today and what is needed in terms of knowledge, technology, innovation, investment, collaboration and strategy to fully benefit from its potential.
The global economy and security of many nations depends on assured and secure access to satellites that provide communications, timing and navigation services and remote sensing data. Space probes are also vital to our understanding of the solar system and the far universe. The IAC2017 program addresses all of these topics and emphasises the important contribution that space makes to STEM education as well.
Space is a fragile environment and satellites are easily damaged by space junk. Researchers and companies are working to reduce collision risks to acceptable levels to ensure that all of humanity can benefit from access to space and to space-based services.
Australia hosts ground-based sensors and is investing in research to enable the space environment to be more carefully monitored and regulated. The global space industry is being transformed by:
- the miniaturisation of electronics
- lighter and tougher materials, and
- advanced manufacturing processes.
These innovative technologies will be showcased at IAC2017.
The transport industry is transforming at a rapid rate. New technologies, ideas and partnerships are driving change. The 5th Australian Intelligent Transport Systems Summit is when the ITS industry comes together for two days of pushing the boundaries.
Join hosts, ITS Australia and industry leaders review challenges and opportunities, with program themes focusing on Connected and Automated Vehicles, Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and Transport for Smart Cities. Respected international and Australian thought-leaders from aligned sectors will bring a new dimension, expanding the discussion and providing wider perspectives. With networking, social functions and technical tours, the Australian Intelligent Transport Systems Summit is a must for government, business, academia and start-ups.
Following on from the success of the 23rd ITS World Congress held in Melbourne in October 2016, the 5th Australian Intelligent Transport Systems Summit 2017 will look to continue the conversation and explore technology trends. The growing international focus on connected autonomy and smart cities and where advanced transport is a key driver for the provision of intelligent infrastructure across the transport network.
Hosted by ITS Australia, the Australian ITS Summit is a must attend event for every ITS professional – whether you are doing business in Australasia, looking to export your expertise, or wanting to connect and grow your network base, this will be an opportunity for policy makers, practitioners, researchers and ITS providers to share information addressing modern transport issues.
