The Geo Week exhibition and conference is described by its organisers as being “the learning and networking nexus of the geospatial and built worlds,” attracting professionals from a wide variety of industries and disciplines.

The 2024 event had 3,400-plus registrants and hosted a record 2,976 delegates onsite from more than 45 nations.

Geo Week 2025 will convene 3,000-plus attendees from six continents, and will include collocated user meetings (ASPRS, MAPPS, USIDB and more to be announced).

Convened biennially since 1962, the International Symposium on Remote Sensing of Environment is a global summit for experts to share emerging knowledge in the fields of Earth observation and remote sensing.

ISRSE-40 will run alongside the inaugural Farnborough International Space Show.

The Association of Public Authority Surveyors (APAS) 2025 Conference will be held at the Rydges Resort Hunter Valley, Lovedale, NSW, in March 2025. The theme of the event will be ‘Plumb lines and mulled wines’.

The current program (continually updated) can be found here, and includes a gala dinner.

APAS is a non-profit organisation that brings together surveyors and closely allied spatial information professionals employed by public authorities in NSW and the Australian Capital Territory.

The Centre for Spatial Data Infrastructures and Land Administration (CSDILA) at the University of Melbourne, will host the Global Geospatial and Land Community at Melbourne Connect.

The program will include a Certified Leadership Training Course, which will equip executives and leaders with the knowledge, skills and insights needed to leverage geospatial technologies effectively, drive innovation within their organisations, and respond proactively to the evolving landscape of geospatial challenges and opportunities.

The associated Global Forum on Advancing Land and Geospatial Knowledge and Innovation will see the CSDILA and UN-GGIM bring together a leading team to deliver specialised leadership training in the domains of geospatial data and land administration.

FIG Working Week 2025 is a great opportunity for Australia’s geospatial community to showcase their technical expertise, strong research capability and warm hospitality.

For 2025, the annual Locate conference will be held in conjunction with the FIG Working Week 2025 conference, with both taking place alongside each other at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, from 6 to 10 April.

Locate25 and FIG Working Week 2025 will offer unparalleled access to the international surveying and geospatial community, providing a platform to exchange experiences and stay at the forefront of developments across various aspects of surveying and geospatial practices, including ethics, standards, and education.

The overall theme for the 2025 event is ‘Collaboration, Innovation and Resilience: Championing a Digital Generation.’ It will feature an insightful and technical program with local and international practitioners, allied professionals and academics speaking on their field of expertise.

Geospatial World Forum (GWF) is a collaborative and interactive event that demonstrates the collective and shared vision of the global geospatial community.

This annual gathering brings together geospatial professionals and leaders representing national mapping agencies, private sector enterprises, multilateral and development organisations, scientific and academic institutions, and large end-users from government agencies and private businesses.

This, the 16th edition of the Forum, will be held in Madrid, Spain.

The Australian Space Summit & Exhibition is returning for its fourth consecutive year to throw a spotlight on the increasing strength of the nation’s space sector.

Coming at a critical time for the Australia’s space community, the summit will unite the sector’s most influential decision makers from across the public and private spheres over two days of presentations, discussions and displays.

The diverse agenda will feature more than 70 frontline presentations from leaders in the space and defence sectors, while presenting established and emerging industry players the opportunity for networking and discovery.
