The upcoming “Super Issue” of Position magazine covers many of the topics and issues that will be driving the discussion at Australasia’s biggest surveying and spatial conference – April’s Locate17 and Digital Earth Symposium. As the official media partner for the event, this issue of Position will tie in with the many Locate and Digital Earth conference themes, and will be distributed to all attendees over the event’s three days.
In particular, the April/May issue of Position explores how spatial and surveying technologies are simultaneously supporting economies and contributing to wider environmental and community benefit.
