A record number of more than 160 survey and geospatial professionals converged on Hobart on Friday 21 November, to celebrate technologies as part of the annual Tasmanian Surveying and Geospatial Conference. This year, the Tasmanian Spatial Information Council (TASSIC) co-hosted the event, supported by the Institution of Surveyors Tasmania, the Surveyors Trust and a host of industry partners, sponsors and exhibitors.
The day was rounded out with a showcase of innovative presentations from University of Tasmania staff and students, and a panel discussion on "What’s next for the Tasmanian Geospatial Sector", especially considering the winding up of the national peak body (GCA). The discussion centred on a local and grassroots approach, navigating the different 'tribes' that make up our industry, ensuring we include the younger generations, and focusing on what we have in common: our love of maps!
