Welcome to EMSINA's Professional Development Program for the 2024 Conference sponsored by Fujitsu Australia and New Zealand.
Through full presentations, lightning talks and facilitated discussions, EMSINA will present examples of the use and the growing demands of Geospatial intelligence technologies as applied in within the emergency services organisations, Local/State/Federal Governments and also those used to feed public information demands. During this professional development opportunity, you will see presentations from our Emergency Service Organisations and Government from across Australia along with some of the major vendors of location technologies. We will hear about the latest applications and tools that drive data driven decision making, trends and common national scale directions and most important we will focus on what the future holds in an ever-increasing need for Geospatial in modern digital solutions....read more
