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

The US National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC) Annual Conference is the place to enhance geospatial excellence and collaboration for state, local, tribal and federal GIS policymakers and coordinators, private sector partners and other leaders in the geospatial ecosystem.

Providing critical and timely networking opportunities, the conference also offers the chance to connect, collaborate, and share with colleagues and partners.

The agenda will comprise:

Roll Call of States — Where state representatives will share a snapshot of achievements, challenges and upcoming activities.
Plenary Sessions — Presentations by and for the NSGIC community exploring challenges, successes and new approaches for collaboration in the geospatial ecosystem.
State Caucus — A roundtable discussion with state and local government representatives to talk frankly about current pressing issues.
GIO Academy — Leadership sessions and networking for state government GIOs and equivalents only (separate registration is required).
Speed Networking — A fun and fast-paced activity where sponsors, who have allocated points, will rotate to complete the circuit of visiting with state reps.
Annual Business Meeting — Including the election of new board members and leadership transition.
Awards Reception — Recognising exceptional work through the Geospatial Excellence Awards & NSGIC Service Awards.

Since the establishment of Scott Base on Ross Island by the late Sir Edmund Hillary in 1957, surveyors have been appointed to assist scientists with survey related tasks on the ice.

This presentation by a panel of Antarctic surveyors promises to be educational, entertaining and informative, as they talk about their experiences on projects on the frozen continent over the last 35-plus years.

The Tasmanian Spatial Information Council (TASSIC) will hold a Geospatial Workforce Development Forum on 9 November 2023, to help shape the future of the geospatial sector in Tasmania.

The Forum will bring together key stakeholders from education, employers, government and suppliers to address critical challenges and opportunities facing the sector.

The Forum will include presentations from representatives of industry, government and the education sector, as follows:

• Paul Digney (Jacobs)
• Rob Rowell (Insight GIS)
• Ben Morris (Local Government Association of Tasmania)
• Michael Krome (Australian Spatial Analytics)
• Arco Lucieer (University of Tasmania)
• Sam Ebert (TAFE NSW)
• Troy Robbins (TasTAFE)

The event will conclude with a moderated discussion session led by Danika Bakalich (Geospatial Council of Australia).

The Forum will be a hybrid event with both in-person and online attendance options available, and it will employ the Menti-Meter program to facilitate discussions, ensuring that each delegate’s voice is heard and their input valued.

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:
