Geo Week is an event for increased integration between the built environment, advanced airborne/terrestrial technologies, and commercial 3D technologies. It was created as a response to the changing needs of built world and geospatial professionals, and to acknowledge the convergence of technology taking place currently.

New technological innovations, the need for remote workflows, and hardware breakthroughs are redefining expectations across teams, organisations, and entire industries will canvassed at the event.

Attendees will hear about the latest updates, case studies, ideas and predictions from a variety of experts: innovators, end-users, regulators, and more. What trends and technologies do they see coming? What new challenges and opportunities lie ahead? How can you and your organisation prepare, anticipate, and benefit in a rapidly evolving environment?

Each year, the Locate conference attracts hundreds of national and international delegates from within and outside the spatial, space and surveying sectors.

As Australia’s premier spatial and surveying conference, Locate provides guests with a unique opportunity to learn about the latest trends and applications in geospatial technologies.

The 2024 event will be held at the International Convention Centre at Darling Harbour in Sydney, and will include a gala evening dinner and presentation of the Geospatial Excellence Awards (formerly the Asia-Pacific Spatial Excellence Awards).

The convenor for Locate24 will be Narelle Underwood, Surveyor-General of NSW.

The International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) Working Week 2024 will be held in Accra, Ghana, from 19 to 24 May. The event is being held in cooperation with the two national associations: the Licensed Surveyors Association of Ghana (LiSAG) and the Ghana Institution of Surveyors (GhIS).

The event will comprise the following:

• Conference: 20-22 May
• FIG General Assembly: 19 and 23 May
• Pre- and post-events: 18-19 and 23 May

The FIG Working Week will be a week-long celebration of innovation and collaboration that unites the global community of surveying and spatial professionals, providing an opportunity to bridge the gap between science and the policymakers and stakeholders who drive real-world change.

The event will provide attendees the opportunity to:

• Immerse themselves at the forefront of geospatial technology and sustainable resource management.
• Elevate their expertise through hands-on workshops, interactive sessions, and thought-provoking discussions.
• Connect with like-minded professionals, experts and decision-makers from around the world.

The FIG Working Week 2024 is expected to attract more than 1500 attendees from around 80 countries, to participate in 70-plus presentation sessions and networking opportunities, and to experience a comprehensive trade exhibition.

The 17th South East Asia Survey Congress (SEASC 2024) is a premier gathering of geodetic engineers, professionals and experts from across Southeast Asia. This year’s event will be held in the Philippines, a nation rich in geographical diversity and a hub for geospatial and geomatics advancements.

Themed ‘Global Excellence in the Geospatial Profession for the Next Industrial Revolution,’ SEASC 2024 promises to be an intellectually stimulating and enriching experience, bringing together experts to share their knowledge, insights, and innovations in the wide-ranging fields of geodesy, geospatial science and geomatics.

In recognition of the needs of the global community, SEASC 2024 will be conducted in a hybrid format to ensure inclusivity and accessibility, allowing both in-person and online attendees to participate fully.

The Australian Institute of Mine Surveyors (AIMS) National Conference for 2024 will be held at the Crown Hotel, Perth from 19 to 21 August 2024.

AIMS provides professional representation to government, industry and educational organisations on mine surveying issues around Australia. It has been actively supporting qualified mine surveyors, representing the industry and advocating for change for more than 40 years.

AIMS membership is comprised of Registered and Authorised Mine Surveyors from the coal and metalliferous industries, assistant surveyors, surveying students and retired surveyors.

The annual conference of Survey and Spatial New Zealand (S+SNZ) will take place in August in Napier, on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island.

Napier was the epicentre of destruction wrought by Cyclone Gabrielle in 2023, so the theme for the 2024 event is ‘Looking Ahead in the Heartland,’ which S+SNZ says, refers “not just to the optimism and resilience of provincial New Zealand, but also provides an opportunity to discuss approaches to the challenges of climate change and disaster recovery around the country”.

Super-early bird registration is now open.
