Organised by OSGeo, this international annual gathering of location enthusiasts is the largest global gathering for geospatial software. Now in its 15th year, FOSS4G (ie. Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial) brings together developers, users, decision-makers and observers from a broad spectrum of organisations and fields of operation.

Through six days of workshops, presentations, discussions, and cooperation, FOSS4G participants create effective and relevant geospatial products, standards, and protocols. The 2021 event will be focused for the first time on South America and will be held with the close collaboration of the GeoLibres Association in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

FIRA is a leading global event series, which this year is focused on the new era of robotics in agriculture and the huge impact it will have on the whole value chain. For the sixth year running, FIRA will be a hybrid in-person/online event, and is expected to attract 3000-plus attendees from around the world, including robot manufacturers, agricultural businesses, producers, investors, suppliers and entrepreneurs.

The 16th annual congress of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, the non-profit organisation that supports and promotes the collaborative development of free and open source geographic technologies and open geospatial data, will be held in Florence, Italy, at the Palazzo dei Congressi, Palazzo degli Affari and the University of Florence.

The 15th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory, COSIT 2022, will be held in Kobe, Japan, 5 to 9 September, 2022. Established in 1993, the Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT) is a biennial international conference series concerned with theoretical aspects of space and spatial information, aimed at advancing geographic information science and its emerging research frontiers.

The conference offers three (refereed) submission tracks with double-blind reviews: vision papers, full papers, and short papers. Embedded in the conference will also be an on-site mentoring program for doctoral students.

Contributions can cover a broad set of conference-relevant themes such as (but not limited to):

• activity-based models of spatial knowledge
• cognitive aspects of geographic information
• cognitive-behavioural geography, naive geography
• data-driven spatial information theory
• geo-ethics and geo-privacy
• events and processes in geographic space and time
• geographic information visualisation and geovisual analytics
• knowledge representation for space and time
• navigation and wayfinding of sentient beings and robots
• ontology of space and time
• place
• quality and interoperability of geographic information
• social and cultural organisation of space
• spatial and temporal language
• spatial aspects of social networks
• spatial decision support, impact of model design
• spatial (digital) humanities
• theory-driven spatial machine learning, artificial intelligence of space
• theories on volunteered geographic information
• theory and practice of spatial and temporal reasoning
• user interfaces, virtual spaces and collaborative spaces

C.R. Kennedy will be holding a national ‘Modern Methods of Construction Roadshow’ throughout late-February, March and April 2024, highlighting the ways in which the latest software, tools and technology are enabling businesses to streamline their operations.

Attendees will be treated to:

• A presentation on managing digital data workflow using BricsCAD, and the Leica iCON Total Station for efficient construction set out.
• A case study from a company using Leica technology.
• Information from Leica on some of the latest technologies in high-definition 3D laser scanning for accurate reality capture.
• Details of the latest underground detection technologies, such as locators and ground penetrating radar.
• Presentations on the latest in rotating lasers and handheld laser distance measurers (Leica distos) for quick and easy measurements.
• A look at how BricsCAD software can be used with each of these technologies to help bring all data and projects seamlessly together.

Time will be set aside for discussion, and demonstrations of each of the products will be made after the presentations.

The dates are:

• Melbourne: 28 February 2024, 9:00am to 1:00pm
• Sydney: 14 March 2024, 9:00am to 1:00pm
• Brisbane: 20 March 2024, 9:00am to 1:00pm
• Perth: 27 March 2024, 9:00am to 1:00pm
• Adelaide: 3 April 2024, 9:00am to 1:00pm

The cost is only $25 per head, and lunch will be provided. Registration details can be found here.
