The ROTORTECH Helicopter and Uncrewed Flight Exposition is the premier industry event for the Helicopter/Rotary Wing and RPAS/UAV/eVTOL community in Australia, New Zealand and the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.

Held by AMDA Foundation with input from major industry supporter the Australian Helicopter Industry Association, ROTORTECH 2024 will provide a vital interface between industry, regulators and government, including:

• Operations and safety presentations
• Industry conferences
• Manufacturers technical workshops
• Industry exposition showcasing the products and services of helicopter and uncrewed flight related companies

ROTORTECH 2024 will host conferences by the AHIA and Australian Association for Uncrewed Systems (AAUS) and feature presentations by key rotary and uncrewed flight industry experts from Australia and the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.

The Disaster & Emergency Management Conference brings together some of Australia and New Zealand’s most dedicated sector leaders, professionals and service providers for two days of learning, listening, strategising and conceptualising the future of the sector.

Participants come from many sectors of the community, including:

The 9th International Colloquium on Scientific and Fundamental Aspects of GNSS will bring together members of the European scientific community and their international partners involved in the use of Galileo and other GNSS in their research.

The colloquium will address several major areas of research:

• Scientific applications in meteorology, geodesy, geodynamics, geophysics, space physics, oceanography, land surface and ecosystem studies.
• Scientific developments in physics with a potential impact on future GNSS, particularly in testing fundamental laws of physics.
• Aspects of metrology such as reference frames, on board and ground clocks, precise orbit determination and time and frequency transfer.
• Scientific aspects of satellite navigation, positioning and its applications.
• Other topics of interest such as big data, IoT, novel disruptive technologies, Cubesats, HAPS, UAVs and autonomous vehicles.
• Systems and technologies for navigation in space.
