South Australia’s Spatial Information Day (SID) will be held on Friday, 7 August at the Adelaide Convention Centre.
An annual highlight of the South Australian geospatial community’s calendar, SID brings together experts from the fields of surveying, GIS, remote sensing, photogrammetry and more, for wide-ranging discussions and networking.
The theme for 2026 is ‘Every future starts somewhere: From ground truth to space, shaping what comes next,’ and for 2026 the organisers are hoping to attract around 400 delegates and 40 speakers. This year will also see the introduction of the inaugural South Australian EISSI Awards Dinner.
The call for abstracts and papers is now open, with speakers invited to submit their ideas within a wide span of topics, such as:
- Various spatial disciplines, e.g. GIS, surveying and so on;
- Real-world case studies;
- Insights into innovation techniques and approaches;
- Smart cities and infrastructure;
- Emerging technologies.
A sponsorship prospectus is now available, while tickets for the event are expected to go on sale soon.
The Survey and Spatial New Zealand Conference 2026 aims to connect the surveying and spatial community to explore innovation, technology and the future of the profession.
The event will attract professionals from across land development, urban design, resource management, civil engineering, surveying (cadastral, hydrographic and engineering), positioning and measurement, and spatial/GIS for two days of insights.
Registrations are due to open in April 2026.

The 10th International Colloquium on Scientific and Fundamental Aspects of GNSS will bring together members of the European scientific community and 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; and
- Scientific aspects of satellite navigation, positioning and its applications, such as signal propagation, precise positioning;
The conference will be organised as a series of plenary talks, parallel half day sessions and poster presentations.
LOCATE is Australia and New Zealand’s flagship geospatial event, where the region’s smartest minds meet to explore the technologies, ideas and innovations shaping our world.
Each year, leaders from government, industry, research, and emerging sectors come together to uncover the latest breakthroughs and real-world applications transforming infrastructure, environment, agriculture, energy, mining, emergency response, and urban planning.
If you want to stay ahead of spatial trends, connect with decision-makers, and be part of the conversations driving smarter, data-led futures, this is the place to be.
LOCATE26 will be held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 24 to 26 November.
Organisers expect at least 1,000 people to attend, making it a not-to-be-missed opportunity for speakers to share their news and views, and for companies and organisations to promote their products and solutions to a prime audience.
Co-located with LOCATE26 will be the 2026 Digital Earth Summit, a major annual global conference of the International Society for Digital Earth (ISDE).
The ISDE has brought together global experts for more than two decades, delivering world-leading summits and symposia across 15 countries. In 2026, the combination of the Summit and LOCATE26 will bring a unique international gathering of scientists, industry innovators, educators and government leaders to Australia.
