The Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute invites you to engage with us at the Surveying & Spatial Sciences Institute NSW Conference 2018
The theme for this year’s conference:
“Earth – Air – Fire – Water”
The conference theme was chosen to reflect the diverse nature of spatial and surveying sciences which is inherently a multidisciplinary pursuit. Individuals within the spatial and surveying industry undertake many projects and tasks from the conference theme. From monitoring weather systems using small IoT devices to sending multi million dollar satellites into space, the surveying and spatial science fundamentals form the critical building blocks for success.
WHY NSW CONFERENCE?
Key opportunities at the conference:
- Meet a range of professionals and engage in presentations from industry leaders
- Explore the iconic coastline and fast growing city of Wollongong
- Network with people and make strong connections

SDB Day 2019
The International Forum on Satellite-Derived Bathymetry 2019
Esteemed speakers and guests from hydrographic offices, marine industry, service providers and research institutes around the world will gather for Australia’s first SDB Day in May 2019.
Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) is a method for providing high-resolution water depth data in shallow water environments. These waters are notoriously difficult and expensive to access. The method combines satellite imagery with advanced algorithms to provide affordable and accurate data, and all within a relatively quick turnaround time.
The forum addresses the urgent need for both users and producers of SDB to jointly discuss capabilities, standards, data integration and handling uncertainties in its application.
Hosted by 12d – the companies behind 12d Model and 12d Synergy – the highly anticipated 12d Tech Forum returns on 19 – 21 October 2021. The three-day online industry summit will connect over 2,000 surveying, engineering, and construction professionals to learn, innovate, and be inspired.
The 12d Tech Forum provides surveying and geospatial professionals with an excellent training opportunity to keep up to date with the latest innovations and advancements in the industry.
50+ Hours of Inspiring Industry Talks
The 12d Tech Forum will host over 50 hours of industry insights, case studies from cutting-edge Australian and New Zealand surveying projects, and actionable training content. Delivered by some of the greatest minds and speakers in the industry. Talks are tailored for surveyors, engineers, and directors, not just 12d operators.
Free Access to All Keynote Presentations
We’ve secured a huge line-up of 40+ industry speakers, including talks from Land Surveys, Fulton Hogan, GHD, SMEC, Piritahi, and many more.
A few keynote titles include:
- Pilbara Desert Collaboration: Land Surveys’ data management strategy collaborating across the Pilbara desert
- GDA2020 at Mackay City Council: Practical insights into successfully implementing GDA2020 through 12d Model
- Piritahi Case Study: 10,000 lot land development project to crush the Auckland housing crisis
- TfNSW Steering Group & Uniform Coding: Aligning managed utilities through a consistent framework for delivery
Best yet, all sessions will be recorded and available to watch on-demand for 12 months after the event.

LOCATE22 – THE GEOSPATIAL EVENT
24 – 26 MAY 2022
Hosted by Geoscience Australia
On behalf of the Locate Australia Conferences it is our pleasure to invite you to join us at Locate22, 24 – 26 May in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory.
Locate22 returns to the Nation’s Capital in the traditional format of a live event at the National Convention Centre Canberra (NCCC). With the ability to be COVID safe, within a socially distanced environment, the NCCC is the perfect venue for Australia’s premier spatial and surveying conference. Canberra brings an incomparable setting with iconic national attractions surrounding Lake Burley Griffin and the Parliamentary Triangle.
This year Locate22 will incorporate dedicated streams into the format of the conference. This will enable focused discussion from across industry sectors on how location technologies and practices are being used, highlighting the fundamental role they play in shaping Australia’s future.
Industry, government, non-profit and academics are demanding new opportunities for innovation, efficiency and improved responsiveness, particularly in location-based information. In the past year alone, we’ve seen how location information can provide societal, environmental and economic benefits to our communities. Recent national emergencies such as bushfires, drought, floods and COVID-19 all have long-term effects on our cities, towns, land, environment and people. These national, place-based challenges require collaborative solutions that must be data-driven, provide insightful analysis, and be easy for anyone, anywhere to use.
Location in Action is about how we learn, share and connect as a community and with end users to drive deeper insights and aid better decision-making powered through location data, science and technologies.
Come and join us in Canberra where you will have an opportunity to network with national and international colleagues, have direct access to industry and subject matter experts, see the newest technology, and be introduced to the newest ideas in the spatial and surveying sector.
