“I am delighted to announce the joint conference Locate 18 – GeoSmart Asia 2018 at Adelaide after grant success of joint Locate 17- 10th International Symposium on Digital Earth at Sydney in April 2017. GeoSmart Asia has always been a successful platform for both spatial and non-spatial professionals in Asia and Pacific and every year it grows bringing different perspective and new thoughts to the user community. The collaboration between Locate and Geospatial Media will bring strengths and new insights to their respective delegates. I am also pleased to share that the joint conference will be developed on the 2026 agenda requirements and hope to bring a difference to both spatial and its user community. I look forward to a fruitful and successful conference bringing delegates from local and international arena to bring a positive and enduring impact on the world.”
