The Tasmanian State of GIS Conference 2026 will be held in Hobart on 3 June.
The Conference will bring together Tasmania’s geospatial community of practitioners, researchers, technologists and decision-makers to share ideas, showcase innovations, and chart the future of spatial thinking.
The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Island to Insight: AI, Analytics and the Digital Landscape,’ reflecting the ongoing convergence of the geospatial sector and the IT world.
Tasmanian geospatial endeavours cover a wide range of activities in sectors such as precision agriculture, forestry management, coastal monitoring, polar science and major infrastructure delivery.
Presentations will cover current and future advanced analytics and AI workflows and how they challenge, compliment or enhance traditional GIS and Earth observation practices.

The 2026 Advancing Earth Observation Forum aims to bring together professionals from across Australia and beyond, to share, learn, connect and collaborate.
The four-day event promises to attract a diverse range of participants from the Earth observation community, including those in industry, government, research, defence, not-for-profits and educational institutions.
The 2026 Forum will build on the momentum generated at the 2024 event in Adelaide and the inaugural AEO Forum held in Brisbane in 2022.
