The Tasmanian State of GIS Conference 2026 will be held in Hobart on 3 June.
The Conference will bring together Tasmania’s geospatial community of practitioners, researchers, technologists and decision-makers to share ideas, showcase innovations, and chart the future of spatial thinking.
The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Island to Insight: AI, Analytics and the Digital Landscape,’ reflecting the ongoing convergence of the geospatial sector and the IT world.
In particular, AI, machine learning, advanced data analytics and cloud platforms are changing the way the sector works, bringing both opportunities and challenges.
The afternoon event will begin with registration and lunch from noon to 1:00pm, followed by speaker sessions from 1:00pm to 5:00pm, and networking drinks and canapes until 7:00pm.
Abstracts, sponsorship and registration
The call for abstracts is now open, with the organisers encouraging presentations that span the geospatial spectrum.
Tasmanian geospatial endeavours cover a wide range of activities in sectors such as precision agriculture, forestry management, coastal monitoring, polar science and major infrastructure delivery.
Presentations could, for instance, cover current and future advanced analytics and AI workflows and how they challenge, compliment or enhance traditional GIS and Earth observation practices.
For more information about submitting an abstract, contact Steve Harwin at Steve.Harwin@utas.edu.au or refer to the event website.
A number of sponsorship options are available, details of which are available online or by contacting Anthony O’Flaherty at a.oflaherty@ract.com.au.
Registration options can be found on the same web page.
