2020 Victorian Spatial Showcase & eSummit @ Webinar
Nov 18 @ 9:00 am – Nov 19 @ 12:00 pm

We are pleased to announce that SSSI will this year be partnering with SIBA|GITA and DELWP to present the 2020 Victorian Spatial Showcase & eSummit. 

This will be held as a special online event over two days in November.

Join us as we bring together government agencies, industry academics and community spatial enthusiasts to connect and learn more about the innovative spatial data, technology and services that Victoria has to offer. On the agenda is a mix of lightning talks and presentations by a diverse range of industry professionals, interactive sessions, networking opportunities and more.

The event is also aligned with World GIS Day, taking place on Wednesday 18 November. GIS Day is a day to help others learn about geography and the real-world applications of GIS that are making a difference in our society, so we hope this event is an apt way for our local GIS heroes to celebrate their day!

Spatially enabling the Sustainable Development Goals

This year, we’re going to tackle some of the world’s most complex problems – our 2020 theme is exploring how the spatial industry is enabling the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through innovation. But what are the SDGs you might ask? The 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all UN Member States in 2015. provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call to action by developed and developing countries across the globe.

During the eSummit, the Victorian spatial community will draw on its collective experience to identify opportunities and challenges for us all to achieve these goals.

Program

The full program for the event is now available here!

The event will be held from 9.00am – 12.30pm over two days on 18 – 19 November 2020, using Zoom software.  You’ll receive links to the sessions closer to the event.

GDA 2020 – Latest Case Studies @ Online Webinar
Jul 15 @ 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm

Did you know Australia is located on one of the Earth’s most rapidly moving tectonic plates? Resulting in Australia moving seven centimetres north-east per year!

Australian Government departments and private sector organisations are now contemplating their game plan for the migration of GDA94 to GDA2020. This data implementation is important for organisations that want to take advantage of having sub-decimetre coordinate accuracy when capturing high accuracy data.

Here at 1Spatial, we continue to work with customers across a range of diverse sectors delivering exciting and challenging projects that deliver new tools and platforms for managing their data. We have worked on projects with different customers to manage and track the transition to GDA2020- enabling users to migrate their data to the new datum.

During the session, we will hear from the latest case studies to help you understand the requirements needed to replace GDA94 with the new GDA2020.

Agenda:

  • Opening intro – Andrej Mocicka
  • Case Study – Whittlesea Council
  • Case Study – Bayside Council
  • Open Q & A with guest presenter Richard Stanaway from Quick Close

 

Join our webinar to learn how these organisations migrate their data to this new datum!

In the meantime, if you have any technical questions you would like answered during our session, send us an email sales.australia@1spatial.com and we’ll be sure to cover it.
