XPONENTIAL is a leading annual gathering for global leaders and end users of uncrewed technologies. Founded on a belief that cross-pollination drives innovation, it’s the only event designed to advance the entire autonomy ecosystem. Each year, it welcomes thousands of the industry’s top minds to cultivate collaboration, spark new ideas, and in 2023, build the blueprint for autonomy. XPONENTIAL is a catalyst — helping each attendee transform their vision into real opportunities.

Each year, the Locate conference attracts hundreds of national and international delegates from within and outside the spatial and surveying industry.
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.
Are you passionate about our industry and want to get involved? Maybe you have an idea for a local tour, or a project site visit or even have another event that can run in conjunction with Locate. This is your opportunity to help shape the 2023 event — no idea is too big or too small. Reach out to the organisers via info@locateconference.com or +61 2 4319 8519.

The annual Geo Connect Asia Show & Conferences offers a two day, in-person meeting place for ASEAN’s vibrant geospatial community. Bringing geospatial solutions to the heart of decision-making the event combines with technologies from the digital construction, drone and remote sensing markets.
Geo Connect Asia looks to host its ASEAN neighbours and build on a vibrant community as new technologies add new application tools to enable the Industry 4.0 Revolution. The emergence of AI, blockchain, IoT, robotics and UAVs create a new dynamic and platforms for a region well equipped to take on the challenges ahead.

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 Geospatial Council of Australia’s Spatial Information Day will be an immersive journey into the dynamic world of geospatial data and technology.
Delegates will have the opportunity to engage with industry leaders, renowned experts and fellow enthusiasts, while delving into the latest advancements reshaping the understanding of space and place. On the agenda will be innovative solutions driving progress across sectors such as urban planning, environment management and disaster response.
The event will be followed in the evening by the 2024 SA Geospatial Excellence Awards Dinner, the industry’s premier platform to celebrate the achievements of top geospatial organisations and individuals in the state.

The Centre for Spatial Data Infrastructures and Land Administration (CSDILA) at the University of Melbourne, will host the Global Geospatial and Land Community at Melbourne Connect.
The program will include a Certified Leadership Training Course, which will equip executives and leaders with the knowledge, skills and insights needed to leverage geospatial technologies effectively, drive innovation within their organisations, and respond proactively to the evolving landscape of geospatial challenges and opportunities.
The associated Global Forum on Advancing Land and Geospatial Knowledge and Innovation will see the CSDILA and UN-GGIM bring together a leading team to deliver specialised leadership training in the domains of geospatial data and land administration.

The Geo Connect Asia Show and Conference has scaled up from its launch in 2020 to become the regional meeting place for the fast expanding geospatial, positioning, digital construction and remote sensing markets.
With the growing application of geospatial based knowhow in decision-making across government, enterprise and non-profit the annual event comprises a show with a mix of thought leadership and technical platforms.
Last year’s event attracted more than 100 leading companies and 2494 visitors. Its co-location with Drones & Uncrewed Asia both presents the global UAV industries, but also addresses the importance of data acquisition and analytics in critical and emerging vertical markets.
Digital Construction Asia adds particular focus on the development of one of the region’s largest industries.
The addition of Marine & Hydro Asia expands the reach into the region’s hydro-marine data markets, which are so critical to the economy and security of Southeast Asia.
