Join us for the first session in our ‘Locate Connect’ online learning series! Hear from Scott Dewar, Director, Chris Hewett, Assistant Secretary GEOINT Capability and Development & Phil Shears, Director DEF799 Phase 2.
In this session from 1300 – 1400, the Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation (AGO) will be launching the Defence Geospatial-Intelligence (GEOINT) Strategy, a document that addresses how the Defence GEOINT Community will transform to meet the future needs of the Australian Defence Force. The AGO Executive will also provide an update on their GEOINT projects and announce upcoming opportunities for industry and discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the organisation.
Then from 1430 – 1545, AGO, along with Frontier SI will describe how The Analytics Lab Program (AGO Labs) fits into the bigger picture of AGO capability and summarise the outcomes of their 2019 activities. AGO Labs, coordinated through FrontierSI, is investigating a number of ways to better engage and work with industry. Specifically, the AGO is keen to attract a wider pool of companies and technologies to draw on for automated geospatial intelligence. The primary focus of this program is to address AGO capability challenges through a small number of short-term industry projects, with a focus on machine learning and analytics for producing automated imagery analysis, including automated object classification. AGO will announce a new 2020 program of challenges hoping to find innovative solutions through their partnership with FrontierSI.
Join our expert panel as we explore the issues that arise around applying machine learning to mining applications.
We are all used to the idea that machines can do things that humans can’t – computers can do calculations quicker, robots don’t tire as easily, plotters don’t make silly mistakes and excavators are stronger than a pick and shovel.
We acknowledge the practical usefulness of machines but we want to retain control of the power to ‘think’. We learn from our successes, discard the false trails and slowly advance.
The good news is that machines can learn too. With machine learning, the paths that don’t work are discarded and the paths that work are reinforced very quickly, exponentially even. Our ‘thinking’ then comes into play and we can reset parameters before a new solution is presented for approval. The machine learns what we want, and does its thinking so that our thinking is more targeted.
This forum will be hosted by Steve Sullivan, Senior Technical Sales Specialist & Technical Lead at Maptek, joined by panellists Penny Stewart, Hugh Sanderson and Christie Myburgh.

This presentation will evaluate progress on the 3D Qld RoadMap developed by the 3D Qld joint government industry taskforce in the transformation of the successful, centuries’ old, land surveying practice and law to create a modernised and efficient 3D Digital Cadastral System capable of enabling integrated approaches to 3D design, construction and management of the built environment. Discussion will include enabling initiatives such as the Cadastre Qld Transformation, Digital Twin for SEQ under the joint government “City Deal” Project, progress on standards / legislative enablers as well as market indicators and the significance these projects play in the RoadMap realisation. The significance of industry collaboration and reskilling were identified as critical aspects in the RoadMap for readiness and the presentation will also address these issues.
Blue Marble is pleased to offer both new and experienced users of Global Mapper the opportunity to expand their knowledge of the software and the LiDAR Module by attending an instructor-led, web-based training program.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Blue Marble has made the difficult decision to indefinitely postpone all face-to-face classroom-based training classes. The health and safety of our clients and staff remain our top priority.
For this reason, we are very excited to be able to offer these training sessions online, so everyone can participate from a safe distance. Blue Marble instructors have been effectively using the GoToWebinar platform to deliver online training for many years. The online approach to training allows you to learn the software from the comfort of your home or office and provides an opportunity for us to leverage multiple instructors so real-time help will be readily available during and after the class.
The course content will be delivered over several days, during which attendees will have an opportunity to see the instructor’s screen, follow written workflows in the accompanying training manual, and ask questions as needed.
The intensive twelve hour Global Mapper portion of the program introduces all of the major components of Global Mapper using simulated real-world scenarios and workflows. The agenda includes digitizing and vector editing, advanced attribute management, thematic mapping, raster processing, terrain analysis, and much more. To make best use of the available time, the core functionality of the software, such as file management, interface navigation, tool selection, etc., will not be covered in detail however introductory educational materials will be distributed to all attendees before the class.
The six hour LiDAR Module training will explore all aspects of LiDAR processing from initial data quality assurance to 3D analysis. The class will introduce the structure and characteristics of LiDAR data before following a series of workflows that demonstrates the point cloud visualization, editing, and analysis capabilities of the software.
All attendees who successfully complete both the Global Mapper and LiDAR Module training classes (18 hours of training) will be issued an official certificate of completion and will be recognized as Certified Global Mapper users.
Training Agendas
Requirements for Training
The instruction technique is hands-on so each attendee must have a Windows-based laptop computer with the latest build of Global Mapper installed. If necessary, a temporary license file will be provided to enable all of the functionality of the software for the duration of the classes. All data used during the program will be provided via FTP prior to the classes.
As a prerequisite for attending the LiDAR Module class, attendees must have an understanding of the basic principles of GIS and preferably experience with Global Mapper. Attendees who are new to Global Mapper are strongly encouraged to sign up for the Global Mapper portion of the program.
Multiple Attendee Registrations
If you intend to register five or more attendees from your company or organization for the class, please email training@bluemarblegeo.com to confirm that enough seats are available.

BEYOND THE 2026 AGENDA
The presentation will focus on a major initiative called the 2030 Space and Spatial Industry Growth Roadmap. The Government has set three key objectives for the space industry by 2030; 20,000 new jobs, $12B additional contribution to GDP and an extra one billion dollars into the investment pipeline. The combination of space and spatial working together will make a great contribution to meeting these targets. The space industry sets up critical elements of the communications supply chains (satcoms) together with content (GNSS and EO). The spatial industry provides the vast bulk of the data infrastructure, value-added content and analytics, and the ‘last yard’ delivery channels to customers. Getting this ecosystem right creates a premium competitive advantage for Australia and greatly strengthens our sovereignty and security. The presentation will discuss the next steps in the development of the roadmap; the development of a white paper which sets out the critical issues, the creation of an ecosystem map will help identify key areas for investment, and a risk analysis that will set out Australia’s critical dependence on space based assets and the steps we can take as a nation to improve our resilience, and sovereignty over, these assets. It will also provide an update on the latest developments of the 2026 Spatial Industry Transformation and Growth Agenda and how this initiative will contribute to the roadmap.
