The Australasian Hydrographic Society’s (AHS) internationally recognised hydrographic conference program will return in 2026, beginning with the Hydrospatial 2026 Conference.
The conference will be held from 23 to 26 March 2026 at Shed 6 in Wellington, New Zealand.
With a theme of ‘Shaping the Future of Marine Discovery,’ the event will bring together professionals and thought leaders from across government, defence, research, industry and academia to explore the evolving role of hydrography.
The four-day program will feature keynote speakers, technical sessions, panel discussions, exhibitions, and networking opportunities across six key themes:
- Advances in hydrographic technology and autonomous systems
- Blue Economy and sustainable maritime development
- Coastal infrastructure, ports and harbour innovation
- Climate change, oceanography and marine environmental science
- Law of the Sea, sovereignty and maritime domain awareness
- Hydrospatial data for marine policy, planning and heritage
Further details of the event will be posted on the conference website and also on the Society’s website during the coming months.
The International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing’s (ISPRS) XXV Congress will be held in Toronto, Canada, from 4 to 11 July 2026. This will be the first ISPRS Congress to held in Canada since the event in Ottawa in 1972, so it will be an historic occasion.
The event will bring together researchers, practitioners and industry leaders from around the globe to explore the latest advancements, trends and applications in photogrammetry and remote sensing.
The theme of the Congress, From Imagery to Understanding, captures the role of ISPRS and its scientific activities, and will culminate in a legacy project to create materials that can be used by the ISPRS community to better promote to funding agencies and others the important role that it plays in the world’s economic and environmental activities.
The Congress will run in parallel with the 47th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing (CSRS).
The abstract submission deadline has been extended to 17 November 2025, and early bird registration is now available.
