The Cairns and Tablelands regional representatives for the Spatial Sciences Institute have planned a social event on Friday 14^th November for young spatial professionals working in the Cairns/Tablelands region. The event is being run in conjunction with the Spatial Sciences Institute, and while you don’t need to be a SSI member to come, attendance is free for SSI members.

Taking place this Friday, November 14th at the Green Ant Cantina, this evening of dinner and drinks promises to be a great opportunity to meet a few new faces in the spatial industry.

This is the first time that a Queensland SSI young professionals’ event has been run outside the south east, so we hope to have a good turnout! The venue would like to confirm numbers, so please contact Carl (ph. 0434 886 445 or e. ) or Matt (ph. 4050 5497) before Thursday 13^th November.
