1Spatial, the global geospatial software and solutions company, is hosting a series of free FME World Tour events to help you better manage your organisation’s data ecosystem.
From compute clouds and vast oceans of data to the urban analytics of utility networks, transport systems and government departments, data ecosystems are increasingly important. Connecting, integrating and understanding different data environments is critical to today’s organisations.
To help you better manage your organisation’s data ecosystem, 1Spatial, a leading Platinum Authorised Partner of Safe Software and an FME reseller, is hosting events in the UK and Australia. Attendees will learn about the latest developments in FME software direct from our colleagues at Safe Software. They will also hear from 1Spatial’s experts and see real-world, customer use examples. What’s more, you can connect with other FME users and understand how to make your data smarter, together.
The events will focus on:
- Ensuring existing users discover and understand how to apply the new capabilities of FME 2018
- Allowing new users to explore how to get a rapid return on their investment
- And if you just want to come along and find out if FME is the right solution for you we’ll demonstrate a number of case studies from our existing customers to help you make a decision.

NMS is the pre-eminent symposium on quality use of medicines, diagnostics and health data in Australia.
Held every two years, the conference is designed to present the latest and most thought-provoking content in the medicines and health environment, delivered by international and nationally acclaimed experts.
Led by Australia’s medical colleges and professional societies and facilitated by NPS MedicineWise, Choosing Wisely Australia is challenging the way we think about health care.
The 2018 Choosing Wisely Australia National Meeting will bring together members, key stakeholders and influencers of the Choosing Wisely initiative, now in its third year. It is an opportunity for health professionals, consumers, researchers, funders and policy makers to come together to discuss, engage and network on topics related to reducing unnecessary care.
At the 2018 National Meeting you will:
- Engage with the Choosing Wisely Australia community and foster the exchange of ideas
- Hear about practical and implementable examples of projects on Choosing Wisely and their impact to date
- Learn about the impact of Choosing Wisely Australia

Autonomous Oceans: Past, Present and Future
A look at autonomous ocean systems in the past, what is currently available and what the future looks like, including how PicSea aims to achieve a step change in ocean data collection and what is possible in the next 10 years. A preview of PicSea’s First AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) and how the technology that is being developed now will change the way that we see the oceans in terms of exploration, exploitation, protection and sustainability.
Collaborating to maximise Australian seabed mapping efforts
In Australia and its Antarctic Territory, high-resolution seabed mapping is primarily driven by safety of navigation and environmental management requirements. Until recently, there has been limited coordination of the mapping activity. To address this situation, Geoscience Australia is facilitating a National Seabed Mapping Coordination Working Group which is a collaboration of Australian and New Zealand representatives from federal and state government, universities and industry. The group is developing a government priority plan for data acquisition in Australia, a national multibeam echosounder guideline and common seabed mapping tools, such as a survey register, that will be available on the web. This presentation highlights the progress of these initiatives and demonstrates how collaboration is crucial to the development of standards and coordination of mapping efforts.

In October 2018, the NovaSAR satellite is scheduled for launch from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in
India. NovaSAR is an experimental low-cost satellite mission developed and operated by Surrey Satellite
Technologies in the U.K. It carries an S-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and a maritime
ship identification system (AIS). As a partner in the NovaSAR programme, Australia has purchased 10% of
the satellite operational capacity, providing Australia with exclusive rights for acquisition programming and
data downlink, processing and distribution over its national territory and other designated areas of interest.
For Australia, the NovaSAR partnership presents an opportunity to build new space R&D facilities and to
stimulate new applications research in Earth observation, as well as to grow partnerships and potential
commercial markets around this new capability. In the longer term it constitutes a pathfinder towards a
potential future full-scale national satellite constellation.
The main objective of this seminar is to bring together national stakeholders (institutional, commercial,
academic) to assess how to maximise the use of this new resource. The seminar will feature some
introductory presentations on radar remote sensing for non-experts and provide an overview of
the NovaSAR mission, observation modes and potential observation scenarios over Australia. It will include
an informal open floor discussion to identify key thematic topics to address from an Australian perspective
and to identify topics for which some NovaSAR test cases could be developed.
Speakers
- Dr Alex Held, Director, CSIRO Centre for Earth Observation Astronomy and Space Science
- Dr Ake Rosenqvist, Director, soloEO, Japan
- Dr Mark Williams, Co-Director, Horizon Geoscience Consulting
Open Forum: 10 am – 12
- Room 356 Rountree, level 3, Biolink bldg. (entry via E26 Biological Sciences south – upper campus)
Invitation only: 1 – 3:30 pm
- Technical discussion on science questions and user requests for NovaSAR
