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.
The 76th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), the International Astronautical Federation (IAF)’s premier global space event, will be held in Sydney, Australia from 29 September to 3 October 2025.
Often described as the ‘Olympics of space,’ this prestigious event is where the world’s space community gathers to access the latest space advancements and trends, academic works, industry connections, and partnership opportunities.
The theme for 2025 will be ‘Sustainable Space: Resilient Earth,’ setting the stage for important discussions such as: space-based applications for Earth, sustainable space activities, and sustaining life off Earth.
