Now in its second decade, the Aus Gov Data Summit is dedicated to advancing the government’s agenda of leveraging data as a national strategic asset. This premier event aims to empower Australian public service data leaders to elevate their missions, increase efficiency, and deliver exceptional public services.
With more than 500 leaders from federal state, and local governments expected to attend, the summit will feature an expanded program with four dedicated streams: C-suite, data and analytics, ICT leadership and innovation, and cybersecurity. Each stream is specifically tailored to address the critical challenges and opportunities within the Australian public service data ecosystem.

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.

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.
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
