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 presenters for this topical webinar will be Dr Craig Roberts, Senior Lecturer in Surveying/GPS/Geodesy at UNSW and Wayne Patterson Director, Spatial Operations at the NSW Department of Customer Service.
Roberts will give a short update on the revision of the Australian Standard, AS_5488 Classification of subsurface utility information in the context of datum modernisation, low-cost multi-GNSS and recent advances in positioning infrastructure in Australia.
Data storage, data distribution and security are identified as challenges suggesting a reimagined data governance will be needed. Could a spatial digital twin assist? What is a spatial digital twin? Is it a BIM? Where does it come from? What is an open data policy? Who can use it? Can I use it? Which datum? How accurate is the data?
Rather than just another PowerPoint webinar, Roberts will interview Patterson in a free-flowing format. Attendees will be invited to ask their own questions live in the chat as the conversation evolves.
This webinar is targeted at surveyors, geospatial users, students and the wider spatial community.
As Australasia’s premier annual industry event, the Disaster & Emergency Management Conference attracts a passionate crowd of leaders and change-makers from government, private, and volunteer agencies working in disaster and emergency management.
Over two days, you will connect with emergency management professionals and subject matter experts offering insight, reflection, understanding and motivation across a wide range of topics and emergency management incidents.
Enjoy an impressive line-up of keynote speakers, presenters, and panel discussions, and leave with practical tools and techniques to ensure your team is best supported to better plan, prepare, and respond to emergencies, disasters, and rescue operations.
- Connect with emergency management personnel from state and local government, NGOs, and other recovery agencies.
- Explore and engage with exhibitor displays featuring the latest equipment, technologies, and agency services.
- Discover what is happening across multi-sectors via a program of renowned keynote speakers, sector representatives and lived-experience presenters.
- Gain practical tips, techniques, and strategies to incorporate into your organisation to improve the way you approach disaster and emergency planning, response & prevention.
The 2022 SSSI NSW Regional Conference will be held on Thursday 10 November and Friday 11 November 2022 at the Novotel Sydney Central. The theme will be ‘Connections’.
This regular event is an opportunity to learn from and connect with other SSSI members and the broader geospatial community.
The first day will comprise the main conference, with speakers presenting on various topics, followed by the NSW & ACT Asia-Pacific Spatial Excellence Awards dinner in the evening.
The second day will be a NSW Spatial Digital Twin workshop, an interactive session that will get ‘under the bonnet,’ looking at data sharing, use cases and more.
The Call for Abstracts will close at midday on Monday, 26 September 2022. Abstract proposals can be submitted online at https://lnkd.in/ek4xS6Bu.
The organisers are seeking papers and presentations on a variety of topics, such as:
- technical innovation, spatial aps, cloud computing, survey innovation, RPAS
- data analytics, crowd sourcing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, automation, data partnerships
- surveying -—land, cadastral, hydrographic, aerial survey, engineering
- 3D, digital engineering, LiDAR, reality meshes, BIM
- mobility, emergency management, spatial digital twins, environment, community, smart cities, utilities, coastal management, climate change
- convergence of space and spatial
Registrations are now open online for the conference, dinner and workshop at https://lnkd.in/eVSxGWeB.
The event’s Principal and Major sponsors are the NSW Department of Customer Services–Spatial Services and TAFE NSW.
The 2023 ACT Geospatial Conference and Excellence Awards will bring together colleagues old and new to hear the latest updates from across the local geospatial industry.
The call for abstracts for the event is now open. Any topic of interest to the geospatial industry is welcome, including surveying (cadastral, engineering, hydrographic, mining), GIS, remote sensing and geodesy, or broader topics such as new technology, diversity and workforce management.
The deadline for submission of abstract proposals closes at midday on Tuesday, 3 October.
The Geospatial Excellence Awards Reception will be held at the conclusion of the conference sessions, giving attendees the chance to enjoy drinks and canapes whilst networking and celebrating the award winners.

Each year, the Locate conference attracts hundreds of national and international delegates from within and outside the spatial, space and surveying sectors.
As Australia’s premier spatial and surveying conference, Locate provides guests with a unique opportunity to learn about the latest trends and applications in geospatial technologies.
The 2024 event will be held at the International Convention Centre at Darling Harbour in Sydney, and will include a gala evening dinner and presentation of the Geospatial Excellence Awards (formerly the Asia-Pacific Spatial Excellence Awards).
The convenor for Locate24 will be Narelle Underwood, Surveyor-General of NSW.
