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.

The Geo Connect Asia Show and Conference has scaled up from its launch in 2020 to become the regional meeting place for the fast expanding geospatial, positioning, digital construction and remote sensing markets.
With the growing application of geospatial based knowhow in decision-making across government, enterprise and non-profit the annual event comprises a show with a mix of thought leadership and technical platforms.
Last year’s event attracted more than 100 leading companies and 2494 visitors. Its co-location with Drones & Uncrewed Asia both presents the global UAV industries, but also addresses the importance of data acquisition and analytics in critical and emerging vertical markets.
Digital Construction Asia adds particular focus on the development of one of the region’s largest industries.
The addition of Marine & Hydro Asia expands the reach into the region’s hydro-marine data markets, which are so critical to the economy and security of Southeast Asia.
The third International Association of Geodesy (IAG) Commission 4 Symposium will bring together scientists, researchers and professionals working in the broad field of positioning and its applications.
The symposium will serve as a platform for discussing research that leverages current and emerging positioning techniques and technologies. It aims to provide both practical and theoretical solutions across a wide range of topics.
Discussions will address both technical and institutional aspects of developing GNSS backup systems, integrated positioning solutions, resilient PNT systems, and emerging LEO-based PNT techniques. The symposium will also explore space weather monitoring and forecasting through both ground-based and space-based geodetic observations. Additionally, the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in geodesy will be examined.
The main topics to be covered include:
- Multi-frequency and multi-constellation GNSS technique
- Terrestrial and satellite-based positioning system development
- Multi-sensor fusion navigation and integrity monitoring
- Emerging positioning technologies, e.g., resilient PNT and LEO-based PNT
- Atmospheric space weather monitoring using geodetic observation techniques
- Applications of geodesy to engineering
- Artificial Intelligence technique for geodesy research
The International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) is the flagship conference of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society. The 45th IGARSS will be held in Brisbane from 3 to 8 August 2025.
The theme of IGARSS 2025 is ‘One Earth,’ and the symposium will address threats to our Earth and promote collaborative global solutions that use remote sensing technology. The event will have strong technical and social programs, and present opportunities for regional and global collaboration.
Topics to be covered include:
- The contribution of international standards for land cover and land use and guidelines for SDG reporting
- Advanced satellite remote sensing techniques for coastal hazard monitoring and risk prediction
- Advanced signal processing methods for geoscience and remote sensing applications
- Applications of remote sensing in urban climate and sustainability
- Calibration and validation of space-based imaging spectrometers during a growth era of hyperspectral data sources
- Close-range sensing of the environment
- Deep learning and remote sensing for rapid disaster response
- Earth observation foundation models
- Hyperspectral geoscience mapping in developing countries
- New satellite laser data for terrain modelling
- Quantum technology for remote sensing
- Space LiDAR: Missions, technologies, and observations
