WHERE TO NEXT? LOCATION, HOW WE DRIVE OUR DIGITAL FUTURE
The Locate Conference (Locate19) will explore how geospatial science is underpinning the rapid changes we are experiencing now in the fourth industrial revolution. From advanced data capture techniques, positioning, data analytics, artificial intelligence to strategy and policy, Locate 19 will explore how surveying and spatial science is a core enabling technology of the digital age . From health care, transport, consumer experience through to environment, energy, water, resources and smart cities, Locate19 will uncover the geospatial technologies driving our digital future, identify new insights and better outcomes for your organisation.
INVITATION TO ATTEND
On behalf of the Locate Conferences Australia it is our pleasure to invite you to join us at the Locate19 Conference, 8 – 10 April in Melbourne, Victoria.
Consistently named at the top of the world’s most liveable cities lists, Melbourne is Australia’s home of sport, art, live music, theatres, education and more. The MCEC Conference venue is on the banks of the Yarra River, in the heart of the city – the perfect location for the premier conference of the surveying and spatial industries in Australia and New Zealand.
With a theme of “Where to next? How geospatial science is driving our digital future” this conference will have an engaging approach that will bring together innovative global leaders who will share their ideas, knowledge, and experiences on a wide range of subjects. Every year Locate sets and shares the future direction of the industry, and brings speakers together across the government, private, non-profit and academic sectors.
You will have an opportunity to network with colleagues from all corners of the globe, have direct access to vendors and subject matter experts in the Interactive Zone, see the newest technology, and be introduced to the newest ideas in the spatial sector.
We look forward in seeing you in Melbourne.
GLENN COCKERTON & KATE WILLIAMS, CO-CONVENORS
Join us for the first session in our ‘Locate Connect’ online learning series! Hear from Scott Dewar, Director, Chris Hewett, Assistant Secretary GEOINT Capability and Development & Phil Shears, Director DEF799 Phase 2.
In this session from 1300 – 1400, the Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation (AGO) will be launching the Defence Geospatial-Intelligence (GEOINT) Strategy, a document that addresses how the Defence GEOINT Community will transform to meet the future needs of the Australian Defence Force. The AGO Executive will also provide an update on their GEOINT projects and announce upcoming opportunities for industry and discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the organisation.
Then from 1430 – 1545, AGO, along with Frontier SI will describe how The Analytics Lab Program (AGO Labs) fits into the bigger picture of AGO capability and summarise the outcomes of their 2019 activities. AGO Labs, coordinated through FrontierSI, is investigating a number of ways to better engage and work with industry. Specifically, the AGO is keen to attract a wider pool of companies and technologies to draw on for automated geospatial intelligence. The primary focus of this program is to address AGO capability challenges through a small number of short-term industry projects, with a focus on machine learning and analytics for producing automated imagery analysis, including automated object classification. AGO will announce a new 2020 program of challenges hoping to find innovative solutions through their partnership with FrontierSI.
The International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) will hold its 2022 congress in Nice, France, in June 2022. The event will be hosted by the French Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.
A wide-ranging program has been put together, and it includes a host of leading speakers, such as Australia’s Professor Sisi Zlatanova from the University of South Wales. More than 1500 papers will be presented in the various scientific tracks and sessions over the week. In addition to these presentations, participants will also have the chance to interact and network face-to-face with the authors in poster sessions.
In order to help the registered participants to choose the sessions and the presentations to build their own program during the week, pre-recorded video presentations of the papers will made accessible before the beginning of the event through the digital platform of this event.
The Congress will have a strong technology track, with a large exhibition space that will gather the major players of the geospatial business. A geospatial prospective forum will also address hot topics of our community in order to draw recommendations.
The deadline for both full papers and abstracts is January 10, 2022.
The Wavelength meeting was launched in 2013 for PhD students and early career researchers, addressing the demand for representation of new professionals as well as students from RSPSoc — the UK society for remote sensing and photogrammetry science.
Every year, Wavelength gathers participants from student and early career levels, as well as senior members and individuals within academia and business. The conference offers a setting to present student and EC work and meet new, like-minded contacts.
The 2024 conference will be run in a hybrid format, to accommodate those who can and those who cannot travel to Worcester.
The 4th International Symposium on Applied Geoinformatics (ISAG2024), which will take place at the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wroclaw, Poland, on 9 and 10 May 2024. ISAG2024 is jointly organised by the Department of Geomatics Engineering, Yildiz Technical University, Istanbul, Türkiye, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wroclaw, Poland and Technical University of Crete, Chania, Crete, Greece.
The aim of the 4th ISAG is to bring scientists, engineers and industry researchers together to exchange and share their experiences and research results and discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted in geoinformatics.
Topics to be covered include recent advances in AI, satellite imagery, advanced remote sensing, photogrammetry, image processing, global navigation satellite systems, height systems, terrestrial laser scanning, GIS, smart cities and land management.
