"LOCATION GENERATION"

WALIS International Forum was established in 1984 and has developed into one of the largest and well-known spatial events in Australia.

As one of the premier GIS conferences in Australia, it attracts over 800 delegates from a diverse range of professions.  Held every 18 months, the Forum provides an opportunity to address issues related to all aspects of location-based information.

The event draws local, national and international delegates who are involved in the use of spatial information from a variety of sectors including state and local government, the private sector, academia and the community.

The Forum is open to everyone, however, it is targeted at people working with geographic information or those who would like to find out how they can harness geographic information to improve their business. It aims to provide opportunities for people to learn, network, identify potential solutions and to share and debate strategies for the future.  Participants will also discover how the community can benefit from the latest spatial information tools.

The theme of Forum 09, "Business Intelligence, Business Solutions and Education" aims to engage people with location-based information and demonstrate initiatives in the use of geographic information involving collaboration and sharing of information across government and the private sectors.

Forum promotes the importance of working together to build a strong geographic information infrastructure and network in a cooperative environment.

This year we will have a stream dedicated to IP/Innovation.
