The 2016 Conference will feature some exciting “new” tech in GIS and a full day of hands on training in FME.
On Thursday 2nd June Fun with Funky Stuff! sessions will feature:
- Exploring virtual realities with cardboard glasses
- Cardboard to GIS pipeline
- Advanced mobile mapping
- Mapping without GIS software
- Story mapping with ArcGIS online
- What’s new in MapInfo
- And a few surprises…
The FunGIS Spatial Olympics will get you out and about on Thursday afternoon, after which refreshing drinks and nibbles will served on the Terrace.
On Friday 3rd June we have a whole day of hands-on training with FME (Feature Manipulation Engine) – built in to both ArcGIS and MapInfo, and compatible with a variety of software.
FunGIS Exec team member and Canberra Institute of Technology trainer Greg Patterson has arranged for conference registrants to receive a free 6 month license for the FME software – don’t forget to bring your laptop and on Thursday Greg will assist with loading the software ready for Friday’s training.

On Friday you can also choose to attend the FunGIS conference at the same venue at NO EXTRA COST. So you get 1.5 conferences for the price of 1. We will be sharing our break times too so there are lots of great networking opportunities.
The conference also provides exhibitors who are accessible to participants making it possible to view new products, services and technologies relevant to the surveying and spatial sectors.
The 3d Qld Taskforce have commissioned, through the Spatial Information Foundation, the consultancy for the development of the 3d RoadMap and want your input. The 3d RoadMap will provide justification and pathway for the migration of the current cadastre to a digital platform of the future, capable of providing spatial certainty and 3D depiction. The consultant would like to undertake 10-15 minute interviews with surveyors to gain your input into the development of the RoadMap. These interviews will take place during the conference.
Bentley Systems will be hosting a day dedicated to helping you advance your infrastructure projects. Hear directly from Bentley executives about the latest innovations and technologies that are helping users reduce risk and costs, increase productivity, and simplify project-wide collaboration.
This one-day event features executive presentations in the morning, followed by a complimentary luncheon where you can network with Bentley colleagues and industry peers.
After lunch, explore the advantages of Bentley solutions for Capital Project Management or the Integrated Transportation Infrastructure Lifecycle at one of our expert-led CONNECTION Seminars. Discover methods for intelligent modeling, real-time visibility into costs and risks, leveraging detailed electronic records and improving project collaboration.
Advancing Infrastructure – In his keynote, Brian Middleton, Senior Industry Sales Director will discuss the convergence of new technologies, project delivery and operations, and how connecting assets is critical to improving asset performance. He’ll also show how reality modeling is connecting the real world to the virtual world. Hear how advancements in BIM methodologies and technologies are enabling better project delivery, increased depth of information modeling, and enhanced breadth of the information mobility.
Three football fields of innovation, over 100 featured technologies, six custom tracks and more than 60 exhibiting partners – HxGN LIVE is the place where great stories start. Connect with experts of all Hexagon divisions, learn more about the possibilities of the power of all solutions developed by the Hexagon group and be part of impressive user stories.
Today, most government organisations and a growing number of private industries have some type of Enterprise GIS program in place. These vary from Organisation to Organisation and they are constantly evolving as integrations to other corporate systems grow, new functionality becomes available or new technologies and applications emerge.
This workshop is designed to provide guidelines for managing your GIS program. It will look at the various organisational and technical issues program managers must address in order to develop a successful GIS program.
The discussions will include managing key aspects of a GIS program from staffing and budgeting to procuring technology and working with vendors. A variety of real world examples will be presented showing a range of GIS programs and their implementations.
Specific topics include:
- Program development
- Project management methods
- Budgeting
- Staffing
- Sustaining program support
- Managing consultants and vendors
Intended Audience
GIS Program Management is a must for anyone embarking upon a GIS program, involved with a less-than-successful GIS, or seeking ways to improve a successful implementation.

The 6th Digital Earth Summit, together with a celebration of the tenth anniversary of ISDE, will be held on 7-8 July 2016 in Beijing, China. With the theme of “Digital Earth in the Era of Big Data”, this Summit will offer a great opportunity for scientists, engineers, technologists, managers and other stakeholders to exchange scientific and technical knowledge and to seek research ideas and cooperation opportunities in the field of Digital Earth.
Since the concept was put forth in 1998, Digital Earth has thrived with a panoramic scenario for growth. The International Society for Digital Earth (ISDE) was established in Beijing in May 2006 as an international scientific organization promoting academic exchange, scientific and technological innovation, education, and international collaboration towards the development of Digital Earth. In addition to the series of symposia on Digital Earth organized every odd year since 1999, the Digital Earth summit is our society’s other platform held biennially every even year, presenting discussions on specific fields and issues related to Digital Earth since 2006.
The 6th Digital Earth Summit, together with a celebration of the tenth anniversary of ISDE, will be held on 7-8 July 2016 at the Beijing International Convention Center, China. Organized by ISDE, the summit offers a strong opportunity to exchange knowledge, develop research cooperation, discuss important issues, and continue to improve the scientific field of Digital Earth.
Under the theme “Digital Earth in the Era of Big Data”, this 6th Digital Earth Summit aims to provide an international platform to focus on the application and technologies of Digital Earth for new developments and advances in the context of big data. The birth and growth of big data have brought opportunities and challenges to Digital Earth and moved forward its concept from “putting Earth into the computer” to a broader Big Earth Data. In this new era, Digital Earth should stitch together the huge, valuable geo-data resources increasingly available to us, and perform simulations in real-time of interactions among all Earth system processes in all spheres with respect to their physical, chemical, biological and social science elements. It should also integrate massive, multi-spatial, multi-temporal, multi-resolution, and multi-typed Earth observation and socioeconomic data as well as analysis algorithms and models, fully encompassing the properties of big data.
Georabble has announced the first speakers for GeoRabble Sydney, 7 July 2016 at the King Street Brewhouse– 22 The Promenade, Darling Harbour.
The theme is “The Last 50 Meters”, or how to improve the accuracy of location using 21st century tools.
On the topic of finding your way, where traditional addressing may not be good enough we have:
• Gerry Stanley (PSMA) Capturing building outlines across 7.7 million km2 to find the last 50 metres could be regarded as challenge enough.
Capturing 3D building attributes, surface cover, tree heights, swimming pools, roof material and more for 90% of Australia’s population is a much larger challenge…
• Oliver Slezak propositions Georabble that a “Front Door” is the reference point at any location. He proposes to invite all digital mappers to co-operate to map “Front Doors” as its reference point, starting with allowing volunteered input.
• Brian Nicholls (AAM) will present a “fully 3D enabled GIS based property booking system”.
• Michael Krason (Mailcall) Estimating delivery times is tricky. But when you have inaccurate addresses to play with, it becomes a different game. Hear more about routing and delivery time estimation when dealing with poor addresses.
Other presenters and/or panelists are invited to pitch their thoughts/ideas on the topic. If you would like to participate in the panel, please contact sydney@georabble.org with your proposed topic.
