The event will focus on four themes:

• Designing for digital lifestyles — A new human-centred planning approach
• From precinct plans to development reality — The evolving digital and data DNA of urban growth
• Data-inspired discussions — Tapping into the real voice of the community
• Streets reimagined — The digital backbone for better experiences

Delegates can take part in person or via Zoom.

The 2023 NSW Geospatial Conference and Awards Dinner will take place on Thursday, 24 August at the PARKROYAL Parramatta hotel and convention venue.

The conference will be an opportunity for professionals from all corners of the geospatial world to come together and hear about recent innovative projects, the latest research and current activities from across the NSW geospatial community. It will also be a great chance to network and learn about all the latest technology from multiple exhibitors.

The conference will be capped off in the evening by the NSW Geospatial Excellence Awards, which will celebrate the best of the ACT and NSW geospatial industry.

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.
