The 9th International Conference on Cartography and GIS will take place in Nessebar, Bulgaria from 16 to 21 June 2024. The ICCGIS is a biannual conference that began in 2006 and has been held every two years since (except for 2020). In total, the Conference has attracted attendees from more than 60 countries and has published more than 700 scientific papers in its proceedings.
The aim of the conference is to collect knowledge and share experiences about the latest achievements in the field of cartography and GIS. Multiple parallel events will take place during the conference, including annual meetings of ICA commissions and a special ISDE plenary session. There will also be a Seminar on Disaster Risk Reduction – Solutions and Innovations.
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:
- Defence
- Federal and state government heads of departments, directors and coordinators

- Assistant directors and assistant commissioners
- CEOs and business owners and leaders (technology, communication, insurance)
- Directors, coordinators and unit managers of disaster management teams and offices
- Clinical psychologists, mental health or allied health care workers

The 2024 conference will tackle themes such as:
- How to navigate current climate challenges in order to enhance resilience
- How to introduce innovative approaches to community risk reduction
- Interagency collaboration and communication
- How to recruit and retain team members
The Geospatial Council of Australia’s Spatial Information Day will be an immersive journey into the dynamic world of geospatial data and technology.
Delegates will have the opportunity to engage with industry leaders, renowned experts and fellow enthusiasts, while delving into the latest advancements reshaping the understanding of space and place. On the agenda will be innovative solutions driving progress across sectors such as urban planning, environment management and disaster response.
The annual conference of Survey and Spatial New Zealand (S+SNZ) will take place in August in Napier, on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island.
Napier was the epicentre of destruction wrought by Cyclone Gabrielle in 2023, so the theme for the 2024 event is ‘Looking Ahead in the Heartland,’ which S+SNZ says, refers “not just to the optimism and resilience of provincial New Zealand, but also provides an opportunity to discuss approaches to the challenges of climate change and disaster recovery around the country”.
Super-early bird registration is now open.
