The Association of Public Authority Surveyors (APAS) 2026 Conference will be held in the quaint but bustling Southern Tablelands town of Bowral.
The theme of the conference is ‘Now that’s a boundary!’, which references the fact that Bowral is where the famous cricketer Sir Donald Bradman grew up and also that it is home to the Bradman Museum & International Cricket Hall of Fame.
For those who have had abstracts accepted, the next deadlines are: Draft paper deadline: Friday, 14 November 2025; final paper deadline: Friday, 16 January 2026.
APAS is a non-profit organisation that brings together surveyors and closely allied spatial information professionals employed by public authorities in both New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.
Registration is open for the 2026 GEO Symposium and GEO-21 Plenary, which will take place from 26 to 28 May 2026 in Geneva, Switzerland.
Held under the theme of ‘Investing in Earth Intelligence for a Resilient Future,’ the event will convene governments, space agencies, research organisations, private sector innovators, and development partners to explore how Earth intelligence (EI) can drive transformative, resilient solutions for people and the planet at a pivotal moment in the implementation of GEO’s Post-2025 Strategy.
The sessions will highlight user-driven solutions, open data and open knowledge practices, co-designed products and services, emerging partnerships, and investment opportunities that advance EI and GEO priorities.
The event will be livestreamed, for which registration is not required.
