The ROTORTECH Helicopter and Uncrewed Flight Exposition is the premier industry event for the Helicopter/Rotary Wing and RPAS/UAV/eVTOL community in Australia, New Zealand and the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
Held by AMDA Foundation with input from major industry supporter the Australian Helicopter Industry Association, ROTORTECH 2024 will provide a vital interface between industry, regulators and government, including:
- Operations and safety presentations
- Industry conferences
- Manufacturers technical workshops
- Industry exposition showcasing the products and services of helicopter and uncrewed flight related companies
ROTORTECH 2024 will host conferences by the AHIA and Australian Association for Uncrewed Systems (AAUS) and feature presentations by key rotary and uncrewed flight industry experts from Australia and the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
The second Advancing Earth Observation Forum will be held at the Adelaide Convention Centre. The five-day event will attract delegates across a broad spectrum of applications, sensors and interests, including industry, research, defence, government, students and end-users.
The biennial Forum was created to enable the Earth observation (EO) community to communicate, coordinate, collaborate and collectively assess the state of EO in the Australian and Asia-Pacific region.
AEO24 will build on the momentum generated at the inaugural AEO Forum held in Brisbane in 2022, bringing together all sectors involved in EO to propel the sector forward to meet the growing international demand for EO.
FOSS4G Perth is a local, community-driven gathering of the Perth open geospatial community, focused on sharing news of developments in free and open-source software for geospatial applications.
The event will be an opportunity to share ideas about open-source tools, such as QGIS, PostGIS, OpenStreetMap, Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, Python-based Earth observation libraries and frameworks, GDAL, and many others.
This year’s event will be held in conjunction with the ISPRS Technical Commission IV Symposium.
The 2024 FOSS4G Perth organising committee comprises:
- Bryan Boruff – University of Western Australia
- Cholena Smart – Mammoth Geospatial
- Grant Boxer – Consultant Geologist
- Ivana Ivanova – Curtin University
- John Bryant (Chair) – Mammoth Geospatial
- John Duncan – University of Western Australia
- John Lang – Consultant
- Keith Moss – WA Government
- Michel Nzikou – DMN Solutions
- Nimalika Fernando
- Petra Helmholz – Curtin University
- Piers Higgs – Gaia Resources
- Renee Manser
- Stafford Smith
- Tracey Cousens – Mineral Resources Limited
- Vincent Dinh – GIS Pro
In celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Earth Observation Australia will conduct a special webinar that will shine a spotlight on the role women play in Earth observation (EO) science and technology.
This webinar will explore the journeys of women who have overcome challenges to lead ground-breaking work in EO science. The session will highlight their achievements, the barriers they’ve faced, and the importance of mentorship and collaboration in empowering the next generation of women scientists. Attendees will gain insights into fostering inclusive networks and strategies to support women in leadership roles within this critical field.
Convened biennially since 1962, the International Symposium on Remote Sensing of Environment is a global summit for experts to share emerging knowledge in the fields of Earth observation and remote sensing.
ISRSE-40 will run alongside the inaugural Farnborough International Space Show.
For 2025, the annual Locate conference will be held in conjunction with the FIG Working Week 2025 conference, with both taking place alongside each other at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, from 6 to 10 April.
Locate25 and FIG Working Week 2025 will offer unparalleled access to the international surveying and geospatial community, providing a platform to exchange experiences and stay at the forefront of developments across various aspects of surveying and geospatial practices, including ethics, standards, and education.
The overall theme for the 2025 event is ‘Collaboration, Innovation and Resilience: Championing a Digital Generation.’ It will feature an insightful and technical program with local and international practitioners, allied professionals and academics speaking on their field of expertise.
Held every three years, the European Space Agency (ESA) Living Planet Symposium brings together diverse communities with a common interest in using Earth observation data, in a forum to meet and network with space professionals from a wide range of sectors.
Living Planet Symposium 2025 will have an emphasis on transitioning from ‘Observation to climate action and sustainability for Earth’.
The event will provide a forum to discuss the latest findings and applications based on satellite data, and to review the contribution that data and technologies have made and could further make in addressing environmental and societal challenges.
The symposium will also provide a chance for showcasing innovative products, services, missions and initiatives, with the overarching goal of demonstrating how science, society, policy-making, businesses and the economy can all benefit from observations made from space.
The International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) is the flagship conference of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society. The 45th IGARSS will be held in Brisbane from 3 to 8 August 2025.
The theme of IGARSS 2025 is ‘One Earth,’ and the symposium will address threats to our Earth and promote collaborative global solutions that use remote sensing technology. The event will have strong technical and social programs, and present opportunities for regional and global collaboration.
