The Survey and Spatial New Zealand Annual Conference is the premier CPD event of the year for surveying and spatial professionals, offering an invaluable opportunity for knowledge-sharing, networking and professional development, connecting delegates with the latest trends and innovations in the sector.
This year’s theme of ‘Transforming the Landscape’ will bring a focus on innovation, forward-thinking and the evolving landscape of the profession, with an emphasis on technology and the future of the sector.
After the success of the Australian Institute of Mine Surveyors (AIMS) 2024 National Conference in Perth, 2025 will see the even return to the east coast for the 2025 AIMS National Conference at the Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort.
The Perth conference set new attendance records, and AIMS says it anticipates an even larger gathering in 2025. AIMS members, non-members and industry suppliers are welcome to attend the event.
The 76th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), the International Astronautical Federation (IAF)’s premier global space event, will be held in Sydney, Australia from 29 September to 3 October 2025.
Often described as the ‘Olympics of space,’ this prestigious event is where the world’s space community gathers to access the latest space advancements and trends, academic works, industry connections, and partnership opportunities.
The theme for 2025 will be ‘Sustainable Space: Resilient Earth,’ setting the stage for important discussions such as: space-based applications for Earth, sustainable space activities, and sustaining life off Earth.
The INTERGEO EXPO and CONFERENCE brings together hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of delegates from around the world, to discuss with, learn from and network with others in the sectors of geodesy, geoinformation and land management.
The event presents an opportunity for vendors to showcase their innovative geodata-based solutions to an international audience over three days, addressing current challenges such as climate change, urbanisation and sustainable land use.
The 2024 event in Stuttgart attracted more than 550 exhibitors and more than 17,000 visitors.
INGEO 2025, the 9th International Conference on Engineering Surveying, continues the series of meetings that began in 1998.
The aim of the conference is to bring together professionals in the field of engineering surveying and other related professions, such as civil engineering, mechanical engineering, geoinformatics, geotechnics and so on, to discuss new technologies and development.
The main topics of discussion will be:
- 3D modelling of buildings and engineering structures, BIM
- Smart cities, data collection, sensors, ISs and IOT applications
- Cultural heritage documentation, data collection, 3D modelling
- Indoor navigation (SLAM, RFID, TOF, etc.), low-cost systems and applications
- Deformation measurement, automated measuring systems
- Industry surveys, application of modern technology for power plants, nuclear facilities, etc.,
- Standards and quality assurance of engineering surveys
