127th NZIS Conference Wellington

September 27, 2015 – The Synergy Positioning Systems team is really looking forward to the upcoming NZIS Conference, which is being held in Wellington on October 15 and 16, 2015. The venue is the James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor and this year's theme is about adapting, innovating and integrating.

Conference organisers say: "As surveying and spatial professionals we need to be flexible and adaptable to be successful as our environment changes. Change happens with natural disasters such as earthquakes and climate change causing sea level rise. In the business environment we deal constantly with the introduction of new technologies. The conference will explore how surveying and spatial communities are adapting to the changes that are happening now.

"From change comes the opportunity to innovate in our projects and in problem solving. We see this particularly in the Canterbury rebuild . This year we explore and showcase the innovation happening across our industry – we see the start of a 3D Cadastre happening and discover new uses of location information in previously unexplored ways.

"Successful innovation leads to integration and how surveying and spatial technologies are being integrated into a variety of systems in sophisticated ways. Partnerships are becoming increasingly important to maximize the opportunities that new developments provide. NZIS is taking the lead in providing a conference platform for both the surveying and spatial professions to showcase their work and new developments in one conference venue."
