Chair's Report - Paul Reed
SSSI Qld Surveying & Spatial Day
I am very pleased to announce this year's SSSI Queensland annual conference will be held on Friday 18 October 2019 at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.
In 2019, we are holding the event on just one day, with multiple concurrent sessions covering topics from across all streams of surveying and spatial science. The conference will be followed by the Qld Asia-Pacific Spatial Excellence Awards, co-hosted with our partner organisation SIBA|GITA.
Our team is working on building a fantastic program of topical and interesting speakers for the event, but we would love to have your involvement! We are calling for submissions of abstracts for the program, so if you are interesting presenting your latest research, project or experience, then please visit the Qld Surveying & Spatial Day webpage to submit.
Asia-Pacific Spatial Excellence Awards - Queensland
As I mentioned above, APSEA-Q will be held on the evening of the conference, 18 October, also at the convention centre.
The awards really are an outstanding way to recognise the achievements of the individuals and organisations in the Queensland industry. Visit the APSEA website to see some of the inspiring and deserved winners from previous years.
I strongly encourage you to consider nominating a colleague or your organisation for the awards. More details on the categories and how to nominate is at www.apsea.org.au.
Titles Registry Changes
I have also been working with our Queensland Land Surveying Commission and SIBA|GITA on crafting a response to a request for feedback to proposes changes to the way the Registry deals with survey plans. Thanks to all those who provided their thoughts on the subject - I will keep you updated on the outcome.
As always, if you have any queries, concerns or suggestions on SSSI Queensland or a surveying or spatial science matter you need assistance with, you are most welcome to contact me on chair.qld@sssi.org.au.
Key highlights of the event include:
- See 120 presenters from 19 countries over four days
- Focus on hot topics including UAV’s, BIM, Remote Sensing, Digital Twin, Cadastral Modernization, Positioning, Next Generation Capacity Building and Industry Diversity
- Network with leading decision makers from across the Asia Pacific Surveying and Geospatial sector
- Develop your business, skills and opportunity to position your talents for a fast growing market for geospatial and surveying in Asia through technical workshops and forums.
- Develop your future leaders at a full day Young Professional Day.
