Geo Rabble

What is GeoRabble?

GeoRabble (https://georabble.org/about/) is a free, informal meet-up about celebrating the everyday challenges and triumphs of working with location. Everything from the mundane to the glamorous, whatever gets your GeoRocks off. Anything to do with GeoTech, GeoDev, GeoBusiness, GeoTrends, GeoFutures, – you name it, as long as you’re passionate and want to share your challenges, triumphs, frustrations and pride in the work that you do.

GeoRabble is here to connect, inspire and really have some fun with what is the coolest tech around – and if you don’t believe that, then GeoRabble is not for you.

Typically, a GeoRabble event includes some short talks, a cash bar and (sponsored) finger food (often Pizza). GeoRabble started in Sydney in 2011, and Rabbles have since been hosted in Melbourne, Tasmania, Brisbane, Canberra, Auckland, Perth and Pretoria.

GeoRabble “GeoCareers” at GeoSmart Asia - Locate18

GeoRabble is pleased to announce that we are holding a GeoRabble at Geosmart Asia - Locate 18. This event is going to be a special event about GeoCareers, and we’re going to have presenters from a variety of stages in their careers talk about the wins and the losses, the victory and defeat, and we can all learn a little bit about why we start and stay in the spatial industry.

The Rabble is FREE, and will be held in Adelaide, on Monday the 9th of April, from 4 to 5.30 pm in the Interaction Zone in the main exhibition hall.

The format the afternoon is going to be a panel session, where a fine bunch of surveying and spatial professionals discuss their career, including mentors and mentoring, the institutions and committees, and the future! Come and take part in asking the questions and hearing the answers, and grab a drink and a bite to eat.
