WELCOME MESSAGE

On behalf of the Locate Australia Conferences it is our pleasure to invite you to join us at the GeoSmart Asia & Locate 18 Conference, 9-11 April in Adelaide, South Australia.

Lonely Planet’s Best of Travel 2017 ranks South Australia in top 5 regions in the world to visit and The Economist has ranked Adelaide as the world’s fifth most liveable city for the past six years. Along with these accolades the $397 million renovated Adelaide Convention Centre will be the host facility for our conference. The venue is set on the beautiful banks of the River Torrens overlooking the world-famous Adelaide Oval and Adelaide hills.

With a theme "The Art, Science, and Business of Geospatial" this conference will be a contemporary approach that will bring together innovative global leaders who will share their ideas, knowledge, and experiences on a wide range of subjects that will help pave the way in defining the future direction of the geospatial industry, while developing a richer culture of geospatial sciences around the world.

You will have an opportunity to network with colleagues from all corners of the globe, have direct access to vendors and subject matter experts in the Interactive Zone, an opportunity to participate in a Hackathon or learn from leaders in the Design Thinking and Communication sector. And you will be part of the prestigious not-to-be-missed gala awards dinner.

We look forward in seeing you in Adelaide.
