what3words Webinar

Learn how to plan and deliver products and services to any location in Australia – no matter how ambiguous the address with what3words.

what3words has divided the world into a grid of 3m x 3m squares and assigned each one a unique 3 word address, providing a precise and incredibly simple way to talk about location. It means everyone and everywhere now has an address.

Join Peter Landis, 360HR’s geospatial recruitment specialist, as he interviews Tom Blaksley from what3words, to uncover the potential and real world applications benefiting from this revolutionary solution to an age old problem.

SICC Webinar: Reporting and Measuring Bushfire Mitigation Work, a Software Pilot
Apr 28 @ 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
SICC Webinar: Reporting and Measuring Bushfire Mitigation Work, a Software Pilot

Eugene Lamnek created GeoIT Solutions in 2002, and has been developing ArcGIS customizations, add-ins and applications ever since. In this time Eugene has developed numerous bushfire applications for the CFS and the CFA as well as water and wastewater modelling software, asset management applications and interfaces, and open source applications for numerous clients including SA Water, Santos and DEW.

The Treatment Reporting System (TRS) currently in pilot phase, will allow organisations to store and manage their bushfire mitigation tasks, as well as measuring these tasks against the requirements of the Bushfire Management Area Plans (BMAPs). The system will allow users to store bushfire mitigation tasks, their spatial extent, values of work, time of work and completion status. Tasks are mapped and measured against required actions, defined by within the CFS BMAPs. The TRS will provide an effective mechanism for reporting the adequacy of on ground mitigation work (potentially at a State-wide level) by measuring mitigation work against well-defined mitigation targets. Users of the system will include local government, state government, private organisations and potentially even individual landholders.

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.

Subsurface Utilities and Digital Twins @ Online webinar
May 13 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Subsurface Utilities and Digital Twins @ Online webinar

The presenters for this topical webinar will be Dr Craig Roberts, Senior Lecturer in Surveying/GPS/Geodesy at UNSW and Wayne Patterson Director, Spatial Operations at the NSW Department of Customer Service.

Roberts will give a short update on the revision of the Australian Standard, AS_5488 Classification of subsurface utility information in the context of datum modernisation, low-cost multi-GNSS and recent advances in positioning infrastructure in Australia.

Data storage, data distribution and security are identified as challenges suggesting a reimagined data governance will be needed. Could a spatial digital twin assist? What is a spatial digital twin? Is it a BIM? Where does it come from? What is an open data policy? Who can use it? Can I use it? Which datum? How accurate is the data?

Rather than just another PowerPoint webinar, Roberts will interview Patterson in a free-flowing format. Attendees will be invited to ask their own questions live in the chat as the conversation evolves.

This webinar is targeted at surveyors, geospatial users, students and the wider spatial community.

Nov 10 @ 9:00 am – Nov 11 @ 5:00 pm
2022 SSSI NSW Regional Conference & APSEA-NSW/ACT @ Novotel Sydney Central

The 2022 SSSI NSW Regional Conference will be held on Thursday 10 November and Friday 11 November 2022 at the Novotel Sydney Central. The theme will be ‘Connections’.

This regular event is an opportunity to learn from and connect with other SSSI members and the broader geospatial community.

The first day will comprise the main conference, with speakers presenting on various topics, followed by the NSW & ACT Asia-Pacific Spatial Excellence Awards dinner in the evening.

The second day will be a NSW Spatial Digital Twin workshop, an interactive session that will get ‘under the bonnet,’ looking at data sharing, use cases and more.

The Call for Abstracts will close at midday on Monday, 26 September 2022. Abstract proposals can be submitted online at https://lnkd.in/ek4xS6Bu.

The organisers are seeking papers and presentations on a variety of topics, such as:

  • technical innovation, spatial aps, cloud computing, survey innovation, RPAS
  • data analytics, crowd sourcing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, automation, data partnerships
  • surveying -—land, cadastral, hydrographic, aerial survey, engineering
  • 3D, digital engineering, LiDAR, reality meshes, BIM
  • mobility, emergency management, spatial digital twins, environment, community, smart cities, utilities, coastal management, climate change
  • convergence of space and spatial

Registrations are now open online for the conference, dinner and workshop at https://lnkd.in/eVSxGWeB.

The event’s Principal and Major sponsors are the NSW Department of Customer Services–Spatial Services and TAFE NSW.

World Hydrography Day 2023 Seminar @ Moana Anglican Services and Teaching Centre
Jun 22 @ 9:00 am – Jun 23 @ 4:00 pm
World Hydrography Day 2023 Seminar @ Moana Anglican Services and Teaching Centre

Hydrographers and all those with an interest in hydrography and related disciplines, are invited to attend a World Hydrography Day 2023 Seminar in Suva, Fiji, on 22 and 23 June.

The seminar will be held jointly by the Australasian Hydrographic Society and the Fiji Hydrographic Service. The venue will be the Moana Anglican Services and Teaching Centre at St John the Baptist Theological College.

The organisers are calling for potential sponsors and presenters to get in touch.

The theme for World Hydrography Day 2023 is ‘Hydrography: Contributing to the United Nations Ocean Decade’.

The seminar comes after a two-year pause due to the COVID pandemic and associated travel restrictions. It will provide an opportunity for professionals to network and share hydrospatial knowledge through presentations and discussion.

It is also intended that the presentations will highlight the empowerment of women within the hydrography field.

Registration is free but places are limited. Registrations must be secured by close of business, Tuesday, 20 June 2023.

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.
