This biennial conference is the premier event for spatial sciences in the Australasian region. It attracts a large and diverse audience and in 2009 will embrace a new format.

The South Australian regional committee for the Spatial Sciences Institute is very excited about the event, which will provide cutting edge developments in the application of spatial science to a diverse set of disciplines, communities and people: indeed this diversity is the inspiration for the conference theme of Spatial Diversity.

The conference theme will be delivered via plenary and keynote presentations, technical papers, symposia, workshops, competitions, awards, site visits, dinners, lunches, coffee, exhibitions, breakfasts, walks and talks. The aim is to attract key players in the industries where spatial information is important – environment, mining, defence, land administration, agriculture, disaster management and more. Together with these people, a large range of exhibitors of technology and applications will be present.

Abstracts are now invited for oral and poster presentations on topics in keeping with the Conference theme, Spatial Diversity. The deadline for submissions is Friday, 6 February 2009 and on-line submissions are the only method of receipt of abstracts.
