The New Zealand: Digital Twin 2024 Summit will explore the roadmap of digital twin systems and their impact on each stage of a project, and explore the core values, challenges and opportunities unique to the priorities of New Zealand and how digital twins can deliver them.

The event will feature real stories of success and failure, research insights, and focus not just on what has already happened but also on the potential of digital twins and where key opportunities for timely innovation appear to be.​

Delegates will hear from technical experts, industry leaders and researchers in an experience designed to support the development of a dynamic and scalable digital twin ecosystem in New Zealand.

The Geospatial Council of Australia’s World Hydrography Day Seminar will dive deep into the latest advancements in hydrographic surveying, mapping technologies and data analysis techniques.

The event will give delegates the opportunity to connect with fellow professionals, share experiences and learn from industry leaders at the forefront of marine charting and exploration.

For both seasoned experts and those just starting out in the field, the event promises invaluable insights and networking opportunities to enhance skills and advance careers.

The annual conference of Survey and Spatial New Zealand (S+SNZ) will take place in August in Napier, on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island.

Napier was the epicentre of destruction wrought by Cyclone Gabrielle in 2023, so the theme for the 2024 event is ‘Looking Ahead in the Heartland,’ which S+SNZ says, refers “not just to the optimism and resilience of provincial New Zealand, but also provides an opportunity to discuss approaches to the challenges of climate change and disaster recovery around the country”.

Super-early bird registration is now open.

The United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM), in collaboration with the Government of México through Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) will convene the Seventh High-level Forum on United Nations Global Geospatial Information Management with the theme ‘Accelerating Implementation: Achieving Resilience’.

This seventh edition of UN-GGIM’s High-level Forums will continue UN-GGIM’s regular high-level, multi-stakeholder discussions on global geospatial information management, through the convening of global forums, aimed at promoting comprehensive dialogue among member states, and between member states and relevant international organisations, UN system entities and stakeholders.

FOSS4G SotM Oceania will be a gathering enabling the open geospatial community to come together and ‘geek out’ over all things open geospatial.

FOSS4G events are part of a conference series run by the OSGeo community with the objective of fostering and promoting the adoption of open source geospatial technology.

SotM refers to the conference of the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF), supporting the development of the OpenStreetMap project. FOSS4G SotM Oceania is part of the larger global community, and merges the two conferences into one exciting Oceania-centred event.

The Australian Local Government Association will host a national congress on roads and infrastructure from 3 to 4 December 2024, in Margaret River, Western Australia.

The congress is aimed at mayors, shire presidents, councillors, CEOs, general managers and local government engineers and works managers, and typically includes sessions on road funding, road safety and heavy vehicle access.

There is also usually a focus on community infrastructure, encompassing renewable energy deployment and integration, innovations in active transport, waste and recycling, affordable housing and resilient telecommunications.
