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.
The event’s Principal and Major sponsors are the NSW Department of Customer Services–Spatial Services and TAFE NSW.
The Institution of Surveyors NSW’s annual conference is back and will be moving around the state, starting in 2023 in Newcastle.
Not only is the location changing, but also the date, having been moved out of school holidays to allow more flexibility for parents.
Stay tuned for more details.
The Country Surveyors Association of NSW Easter Conference 2023 will be held at the Novotel Sydney Central in Haymarket, Sydney, on 23 and 24 March 2023.
The annual conference is well attended by many surveyors, both members and non-members of the Association. 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.
The Institution of Surveyors NSW (ISNSW) 2024 Annual Conference will be held over two days in February in the picturesque Blue Mountains, NSW.
Presented as a hybrid event, attendees will have the choice to join online or in person. Speakers will present on a wide range of topics, giving delegates the chance to hear from the industry’s best and network with them.
The event is open to ISNSW members as well as non-members.
The 3rd International Land Management Conference, hosted by the University of the West of England, will be held online on 14 and 15 March 2024. The event will bring together experts and professionals in land management to discuss inclusive land tenure, efficient land markets, sector reform and innovations in land research.
The conference will focus on four themes:
- Theme 1: Can we build more inclusive and resilient land tenure systems by understanding social value and climate change?
- Theme 2: How can land administration systems contribute to efficient and equitable land markets?
- Theme 3: What approaches can Development Partners use to help achieve more successful Land Administration sector reform?
- Theme 4: LINK – Early Career Professionals and Junior Researchers – Innovations in Land Research and Practice
The conference is organised by LINK, the Land–International Network for Knowledge — a network of academic organisations, professional practice and development partners, as well as public and private sector country partners — in association with the University of the West of England.
The 2024 annual conference of the Association of Public Authority Surveyors, NSW (APAS) will be held at the Hyatt Hotel, Canberra, from 18 to 20 March 2024. The theme of the conference will be ‘Pushing the Boundaries’.
The Call for Abstracts is now open, with the following deadlines set:
- Abstract submission deadline: Friday, 22 September 2023
- Draft paper deadline: Friday, 17 November 2023
- Final paper deadline: Friday, 19 January 2024
The 4th International Symposium on Applied Geoinformatics (ISAG2024), which will take place at the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wroclaw, Poland, on 9 and 10 May 2024. ISAG2024 is jointly organised by the Department of Geomatics Engineering, Yildiz Technical University, Istanbul, Türkiye, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wroclaw, Poland and Technical University of Crete, Chania, Crete, Greece.
The aim of the 4th ISAG is to bring scientists, engineers and industry researchers together to exchange and share their experiences and research results and discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted in geoinformatics.
Topics to be covered include recent advances in AI, satellite imagery, advanced remote sensing, photogrammetry, image processing, global navigation satellite systems, height systems, terrestrial laser scanning, GIS, smart cities and land management.
The 35th International Geographical Congress (IGC), to be held in Dublin, Ireland in August 2024, will provide an opportunity to share the best of global geographic research, discuss common challenges and opportunities and connect with colleagues from across the world.
The event is being organised by the International Geographical Union and the Geographical Society of Ireland.
The IGC 2024 will continue the tradition of previous congresses in recognising that our world faces many common natural and societal challenges that can only be dealt with through global action, understanding and sharing. In this respect, geography as a discipline, its skills, attributes and the geographic mindset has much to offer other disciplines, policymakers, officials, politicians and communities.
The theme of the congress is ‘Celebrating a World of Difference,’ and we are strongly focused through our academic and fieldwork program on:
- supporting intercultural awareness and understanding;
- promoting intellectual diversity as a strength;
- bringing geographic research and thinking beyond the congress walls; and
- grappling with the complex interconnections between people, place and the natural world.
The 2024 NSW Geospatial Excellence Awards will recognise individuals, teams and organisations that have made significant contributions to the field of geospatial technology and applications.
The awards highlight excellence in various categories, including research, project implementation and technological advancements.
