GeoNext Conference

By on 25 January, 2012

The rise of smartphones means that sophisticated spatial technology is no longer restricted to field workers and geo-professionals. Maps and location-based technologies are becoming as useful for someone buying a coffee as they are for someone prospecting for oil.

The cost of location-aware devices is falling, data is now a commodity, and innovation in location-aware services is booming – we are only just beginning the journey into the next generation of geo services, software and solutions.

Covering these next-gen technologies, GeoNext is the event you simply cannot afford to miss.

 

Please join us in Sydney on the 29th of February to mingle with industry professionals
