IMPORTANT DATES
Abstract submission deadline: Friday, 28 September 2018
Draft paper deadline: Friday, 30 November 2018
Final paper deadline: Friday, 1 February 2019
Conference: 1-3 April 2019 (Mon-Wed, with presentations on Tue & Wed)
We recognise that authors may not be very experienced in writing papers. In fact, we encourage submissions from authors that do not normally present their work at conferences. We therefore offer two paper deadlines. By submitting your paper by the draft paper deadline, you have the opportunity to receive feedback from the Editor which may result in improvements of your paper. Any suggested changes can then be made before the final paper deadline. In addition, a full paper template is provided to authors to help in the production of the paper and the conference proceedings. Please note that submissions not using this template will not be accepted.
The proceedings of past conferences can be accessed via the Proceedings page.

SDB Day 2019
The International Forum on Satellite-Derived Bathymetry 2019
Esteemed speakers and guests from hydrographic offices, marine industry, service providers and research institutes around the world will gather for Australia’s first SDB Day in May 2019.
Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) is a method for providing high-resolution water depth data in shallow water environments. These waters are notoriously difficult and expensive to access. The method combines satellite imagery with advanced algorithms to provide affordable and accurate data, and all within a relatively quick turnaround time.
The forum addresses the urgent need for both users and producers of SDB to jointly discuss capabilities, standards, data integration and handling uncertainties in its application.
The State of GIS Seminar is the biggest spatial event in Tasmania. Retaining the same proven format of short, sharp 10-minute presentations, the State of GIS Seminar offers a unique opportunity to network, to hear about the latest projects from around the state, and to share your work experiences with fellow spatial professionals.
Trade sponsors, both locally and from interstate, will exhibit their latest spatial technology offerings. The Exhibition commences at 12:30. A light lunch will be served during the exhibition so it’s a good time to catch up with people and talk to exhibitors as well as have something to eat.
Presentations begin at 1:50pm and the event concludes with a networking drinks and canapés session, concluding at 6.30 pm.
