2018 Choosing Wisely Australia National Meeting @ National Convention Centre Canberra
May 30 @ 9:00 am – 5:30 pm

Led by Australia’s medical colleges and professional societies and facilitated by NPS MedicineWise, Choosing Wisely Australia is challenging the way we think about health care.

The 2018 Choosing Wisely Australia National Meeting will bring together members, key stakeholders and influencers of the Choosing Wisely initiative, now in its third year. It is an opportunity for health professionals, consumers, researchers, funders and policy makers to come together to discuss, engage and network on topics related to reducing unnecessary care.

At the 2018 National Meeting you will:

  • Engage with the Choosing Wisely Australia community and foster the exchange of ideas
  • Hear about practical and implementable examples of projects on Choosing Wisely and their impact to date
  • Learn about the impact of Choosing Wisely Australia

3rd Australasian Exploration Geoscience Conference @ Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre
Sep 15 @ 9:00 am – Sep 20 @ 4:30 pm
3rd Australasian Exploration Geoscience Conference @ Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre

The AEGC petroleum, mineral and water resource industry conference, incorporating the ASEG-PESA International Geophysical Conference and Exhibition, will be jointly hosted by the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG), Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (ASEG) and Petroleum Exploration Society of Australia (PESA).

Under the conference theme of Geoscience for a Sustainable World, the AEGC will attract a large number of international and national delegates and organisations from across the spectrum of Australasian geosciences, representing industry, government and academia. It is expected there will be dedicated streams for Australian basins, resourcing a sustainable energy challenge, data, innovation and technology, high-quality resources for future generations and developing the future workforce.

HydroSpatial2021 Conference @ The Pullman Cairns International Hotel
Oct 27 @ 9:00 am – Oct 29 @ 4:30 pm
HydroSpatial2021 Conference @ The Pullman Cairns International Hotel

The Australasian Hydrographic Society’s HydroSpatial2021 Conference will focus on how hydrography will develop in the future, noting the development of ‘digital twinning’ and the emerging name variants for hydrography such as ‘hydrospatial’ or ‘hydrogeomatics’.

The conference theme, Hydrography of the Future, morphs two modern yet wide-ranging aspects of the hydrographic surveying profession, and should draw papers from relevant scientific, technological, operational and environmental communities. The aim is to provide delegates with valuable insights, creative ideas and inspiration on how to harness current and future technologies, systems and processes so that they can deal with present challenges and prepare for a more sustainable future.

RPAS in Australian Skies 2023 @ Hotel Realm, Canberra

RPAS in Australia Skies is back for 2023. The conference is the Australian Association for Uncrewed Systems’ (AAUS) main event for the year and has established itself as a landmark event for the Australian drone industry, drawing interest from key government personnel, representatives from the regulatory and safety bodies, defence force, RPAS and UTM representatives, end users and academia.

The hybrid event will take place over two days and will include a combination of presentations and interactive panel discussions.

The conference will cover:

  • RPAS related policy and regulatory updates from Australian and international government agencies.
  • UAS Traffic Management, low-level airspace and integrated airspace systems
  • Industry challenges and perspectives
  • Continuing development of a professional and safe industry.
  • Emerging technologies and innovative solutions enabling RPAS integration in Australian airspace.
  • Emerging applications — benefits, viability and social acceptance
  • Case studies of drone use and challenges in emergency services, infrastructure inspection, delivery, mining, and agriculture.

  • Positioning infrastructure
  • GNSS vulnerability, resilience and risk
  • Interference detection and mitigation
  • Policies and standards
  • SBAS and other augmentations
  • Datums and geodesy
  • National and international GNSS developments
  • Emerging application areas for GNSS
  • Key industries and their reliance on GNSS
  • The multi-GNSS era
  • Cyber security in PNT applications and infrastructure
  • Alternative PNT
  • State of the art in PNT algorithms and software development
  • GNSS aiding and sensor fusion
  • Positioning in GNSS denied environments
  • Development of GNSS receiver hardware and firmware

Remote Hydrography 2024 @ Dublin, Ireland
Feb 27 – Feb 28 all-day
Remote Hydrography 2024 @ Dublin, Ireland

The Remote Hydrography conference and exhibition brings together manufacturers, operators, regulators, and research and development leaders from both industry and academia, within the field of remote surveying and uncrewed survey operations.

Remote Hydrography 2024 provides an opportunity to share experience gained in the development and application of autonomous and uncrewed platforms (surface, underwater, aerial and space-based) and the associated command and support services.

These and enabling technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence will revolutionise workflows for hydrographic data collection, processing, analysis and presentation.
