We are happy to announce the SAVE THE DATE for the 2019 National Conference!

Building on the success of the 2018 National Conference we are anticipating a good attendance again this year.

The Conference will be held at the Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park which has recently had a $50 million refurbishment.

Call for papers will be announced shortly and more information will follow in the coming weeks.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact the Conference Manager Dean Kerr on email dean@cimages.com.au or via mobile 0422 632 608.

The Australian Institute of Mine Surveyors (AIMS) National Conference 2023 will be held at the Hyatt Regency Sydney from 13 to 15 September 2023. This is the premier event on the AIMS calendar and should not be missed, especially with more than 20 sponsors in attendance showcasing the latest equipment and technology.

The conference’s keynote speaker will be Peter Baines, OAM, one of Australia’s most effective ‘socialprenuers’. A former police officer, he is the founder of the well-known charity ‘Hands Across the Water,’ and as such has created opportunities for hundreds of children in Thailand.

Peter’s humanitarian efforts have been recognised with significant national and international awards. In January 2014, he was awarded the Order of Australia Medal for his International Humanitarian work. In 2016, he received the Most Admirable Order of Direkgunabhorn awarded by the King of Thailand for his devotional services to the Kingdom of Thailand.

A powerful keynote speaker, Peter’s presentations take his audience from laughter to tears as he recounts his story and delivers the lessons he has learned by managing some of the world’s most devastating crises. His tales of the way in which he has contributed to the lives of many less fortunate people in the world, and the realisation of his personal dream are absolutely inspiring.

The Institute of Navigation’s (ION) mid-year meeting, the International Technical Meeting (ITM), is a conference with a technical program related to positioning, navigation and timing and includes the ION Fellows and Annual Awards presentations.

In 2024, ITM will take place in Long Beach, California, January 22 – 25, 2024, and will be co-located with the Precise Time and Time Interval Systems and Applications Meeting.

A commercial exhibition and pre-conference tutorials will be held in conjunction with the conference.

The Institute of Navigation’s (ION) annual Precise Time and Time Interval Systems and Applications (PTTI) meeting will take place in Long Beach, California, January 22-25, 2024, and will be co-located with the ION International Technical Meeting.

The PTTI technical program is designed to:

• Disseminate and coordinate PTTI information at the user level
• Review present and future PTTI requirements
• Inform government and industry engineers, technicians, and managers of precise time and frequency technology and its problems, and
• Provide an opportunity for an active exchange of new technology associated with PTTI.

A commercial exhibition and pre-conference tutorials will be held in conjunction with the conference.

The Institute of Navigation’s (ION) Pacific PNT Conference is a global event dedicated to the cooperative development of positioning, navigation and timing technology and applications.
