Building on last year’s event, this year’s West Australian Surveying and Spatial Information Conference (WASSIC) will be even bigger and better, incorporating an expanded spatial stream and a larger exhibition.

 

The revamped WASSIC 2012 event will also be run for the first time in conjunction with the Western Australian Spatial Excellence Awards (WASEA) dinner.

 

Spatial Diversity is the theme, and WASSIC 2012 will feature a wide range of suppliers and industry representatives, and will cover subjects of interest to all SSSI commissions in streamed technical sessions with significant keynotes.

 

The conference on Thursday 17th and Friday 18th May is hosted by all commissions of the SSSIWA Region in conjunction with the Australian Institute of Mine Surveyors – bringing a strong mine surveying influence – and the Spatial Industry Business Association – concentrating on business aspects.

 

The dinner on the Friday evening is hosted by SSSI and SIBA, and both events this year will be involve WALIS giving an increased spatial component.

 

SSSIWA chair, Peter Douglas, and conference convener and WA regional executive officer, Eugene Browne, promise all who attend a great social event and an opportunity to earn valuable CPD points as well as exchange ideas with peers from the wider spatial industry.

 

WASSIC 2012 will be held at the Esplanade Hotel in Fremantle, and will take advantage of the Esplanade’s recently expanded conference facilities and Perth’s popular waterfront playground.
