Working with ageing IT systems and limited budgets, government agencies need to pull resources together to build a culture of data sharing which enables quick and accurate communication of information.
Advanced analytics, when used effectively, can help predict future trends and assist in policy development, smarter decision making and provision of better service delivery.
Developed together with key industry leaders, Akolade’s timely 2nd Annual Australian Government Data Summit discusses how to advance your data-driven analytics.
Attend and further learn how to:
- Ensure strong ROI from your data analytics initiatives
- Develop practical data governance and data quality strategies for success
- Move towards smarter use of ICT enabled infrastructure
- Establish an information and data sharing culture
- Drive better policy decision making and improve future services
- And much more

The aim of UAS4RS 2017 is to bring together the UAS community in Australia, and to present and discuss UAS technology for remote sensing applications and information extraction.
This conference is for you if:
- You’re a ‘doer’: you already use UAS as part of your remote sensing workflow and would like to share your experiences and challenges.
- You’re a ‘dabbler” you’ve done some testing and think this technology might be the way forward for you.
- You’re a ‘would-be dabbler’: you’ve heard the hype and you’re curious to know more.
Organisers are designing an interactive and engaging program and linking with UAS researchers, developers, systems and service providers, as well as end-users.
There will be presentations, posters, exhibitions, live demonstrations, and discussions to exchange ideas on the use of UAS for remote sensing applications.
