Now in its 24th year, the NSW Excellence in Surveying and Spatial Information Awards recognise the achievements of organisations and individuals from across the state who are engaged in the surveying and spatial information profession.

Over the years, a wide range of entries from small to large businesses within government departments, educational institutions and the private sector, have been recipients of the awards.

The Organising Committee invites you to take the opportunity to be recognised for your achievements and to participate in the 2022 Awards with fellow staff, clients and partners.

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.

Over the past 40 years have been held as far west as Broken Hill and Deniliquin, north to Armidale and Port Macquarie, south to Albury and Wagga Wagga and more centrally at places like Orange, Katoomba, Gosford and Nowra. These family orientated events have led to many enduring friendships across the whole of New South Wales.
