The Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute invites you to engage with us at the Surveying & Spatial Sciences Institute NSW Conference 2018
The theme for this year’s conference:
“Earth – Air – Fire – Water”
The conference theme was chosen to reflect the diverse nature of spatial and surveying sciences which is inherently a multidisciplinary pursuit. Individuals within the spatial and surveying industry undertake many projects and tasks from the conference theme. From monitoring weather systems using small IoT devices to sending multi million dollar satellites into space, the surveying and spatial science fundamentals form the critical building blocks for success.
WHY NSW CONFERENCE?
Key opportunities at the conference:
- Meet a range of professionals and engage in presentations from industry leaders
- Explore the iconic coastline and fast growing city of Wollongong
- Network with people and make strong connections
- Celebrate NSWSEA with us at the Gala Dinner
Date: 14th-16th November 2018
Venue: Novotel Wollongong Northbeach
