The latest in spatial data applications will be showcased at this year’s Mapped Out Conference to be held at the Rules Club in Wagga Wagga on Wednesday 2 & Thursday 3 March 2022.

Mapped Out will highlight the diversity of applications for spatial data, geographic information systems and their supporting technologies. Guest speakers with local and national experience will be showcasing the use of spatial data to enhance the operation and delivery of government services.

The Conference is a great opportunity for people working in regional NSW in both local government and the private sector to keep abreast of the latest technology and geographical information systems that can be utilised in their day to day work.

Join Bentley Systems at the launch of what it says is the industry’s most complete Survey and Site Design Solution ever offered to the ANZ market.

As technology advances and industry expectations increase, your software needs to keep pace with this ever-changing environment. In short, your software needs to deliver on today’s requirements and be ready for tomorrow’s challengers.

If you work in road design, site surveying, site development and related fields, this webinar is for you.

Throughout the launch, Bentley Systems will demonstrate traditional survey data capture capabilities, coupled with the latest mass data collection survey methods, including Total Station techniques, Point Cloud techniques and Digital Photogrammetry techniques.

Leveraging the above survey results, the launch will continue through a typical site design workflow, incorporating aspects such as:

• Terrain creation and analysis
• Urban road widening design
• Carpark and recreational area design
• Drainage and Utility design and analysis
• Plan production and digital model delivery
• Model visualisation

Air Inspect Australia will also be joining the webinar to share their insights and learnings of their project.

If you or your company perform any of the above-mentioned workflows, then this is one webinar you should not miss.

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

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.
