The Newtech series of conferences provide people across rural and regional Victoria with information on the latest technologies in land information and land management.
Organised and hosted by Information Services Division, of the Department of Environment & Primary Industries, with the assistance of Spatial Industry Business Association (SIBA) & the Geography Teachers Association of Victoria (GTAV).
This unique conference circuit has been bringing together land information experts and trade exhibitors to regional centres since 1997. There is also an emphasis on highlighting local regional applications and developments.
Now in their Seventeenth year, Newtech conferences have attracted more than 5,300 delegates primarily from people from the list below.
The next Newtech Conference will be held in Bendigo on 23 April 2015, and will have the theme: Emergency Management – Planning & Recovery.
