• Data, AI and cybersecurity
• Digital twins

Registrations are open for the 1Spatial World Tour 2026 featuring FME.

The global event series returns for 2026 under the theme of ‘Got You Covered,’ bringing together geospatial professionals, innovators, and industry leaders for a day of insights and connection.

This year’s 1Spatial World Tour will explore how users can achieve complete confidence in their geospatial ecosystem, from data quality and compliance to automation, integration and emerging technologies.

A major focus of the 2026 tour will be showcasing the latest improvements already released in FME 2026.1, along with a look at what’s coming next under Safe Software’s new quarterly release model.

Recent updates include expanded format support, such as for Microsoft Fabric Data Warehouse, PMTiles, HDF5 Raster, Esri File Geodatabase (OpenFile Geodb), and the technology preview of CityGML 3 — enhancements that strengthen enterprise integration, cloud workflows and 3D capabilities.

Members of the geospatial community, from first-time users to FME gurus, are invited to present a project, workflow or creative use of FME. Abstract submissions can be made here.

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.
