The Leica Future Forum aims to empower professionals to extend the value of their existing Leica ecosystem by sharing expertise, exploring advanced workflows, and building a community.
The two-day event will feature more than 30 sessions, more than 10 international speakers and more than a dozen exhibitors.
Topics to be covered include:
- BIM for CAD users
- Surveying in an AI-drive world
- GNSS resilience, accuracy and trust
- Practical tunnelling workflows
- Advanced utility detection
- Managing transport project data
- Getting started with laser scanning

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.
