GITA 2013 next week

By on 30 July, 2013

GITA 2013 is fast approaching, with the conference happening next week from 5-7 August at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.

This year’s Conference offers real take away business benefits, including these top 6 reasons for attending:

  1. Hear from Industry’s best – this year’s program is one of GITA’s best with five high profile keynotes: The Lord Mayor of Brisbane, CEO Ergon Energy, CEO Energex, CEO Unitywater and Executive Dean of QUT, Science & Engineering.
  2. Lessons Learnt and Best Practice – This would add contextual knowledge to the use of certain software or specific data, knowledge that could have its own ROI of some significance. Learn from others; don’t wait to learn the hard way.
  3. Ideas – in the form of projects that can increase revenue/productivity. Spatial and business experts within an organisation can bounce ideas of their peer group within the industry, which can lead to validation of thoughts or highlighting potential flaws in logic or pitfalls which could be costly further down the track. Possible solutions can be brought into an organisation that has been peer reviewed by like-minded experts.
  4. Keep abreast of new technologies – on display at the vendor and exhibitor stands allowing comparison of style, cost and functionality in one location.
  5. An organisation can identify other organisations that may be implementing a spatial solution ahead of them, by making a connection and knowledge sharing, understanding the pros and con can assist in the planning phase of any project, saving cost and allowing for previous unknown risks to be identified and treatment action put in place that could have potentially damaged the quality of the activity.
  6. Hear the GITA ANZ Excellence Award Finalists present projects that have pushed the technology and increased business and community benefits. There has to be a few great ideas in that!
