2023 FunGIS Conference - Mapping for a sustainable future!
When: August 25, 2023 midnight
Location: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, 121-123 Esplanade, Cairns City QLD
We are living in a world where we are faced with many complex sustainability challenges. GIS is pivotal to finding solutions to meet these challenges. With the power of data, maps and technological advancements, we can find clarity in complexity and shine a light on the way to a more sustainable future. Hear from a variety of interesting, creative, forward spatial thinkers at FunGIS’s 32nd annual conference!
Our theme: Mapping for a sustainable future!
The United Nations report states that the global population is expected reach 9.7 billion people by 2050. Add to the mix, the climate crisis, a global pandemic and social inequity.
How will we sustain this population expansion and meet the demands for food, shelter, water security, medicines and all other essentials? How will we prepare for more extreme weather events?
GIS and spatial sciences are central to the efforts being undertaken to address the most pressing problems our world is facing. Maps of all varieties are a visual language that reveal spatial and temporal patterns in the world around us, at both local and global scales. They illustrate change, gaps, disparities, progress and success.
This year, we want to know how your data, maps, tech, spatial discoveries and curiosities are lighting the way to a more sustainable future!
