The United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), as the Secretariat for the Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM), in collaboration with the Government of China, through the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Zhejiang Provincial Government, will be hosting the United Nations World Geospatial Information Congress (UNWGIC) in Deqing, Zhejiang Province, China from 19-21 November 2018.
The convening of the UNWGIC arises out of the mandate from the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) to the Committee of Experts to convene global forums to promote comprehensive dialogue on global geospatial information management with all relevant governments, non-governmental organizations and the private sector.
With an overarching theme “The Geospatial Way to a Better World” the UNWGIC will be a truly global event bringing together all stakeholders at the highest level to address and ensure that geospatial information has its widest and fullest utility in service of social, economic and environmental development. The aim of the Congress is to provide a convening, participatory and inclusive environment to enhance the communication, understanding, knowledge and application of geospatial information management to address local, regional and global challenges.
The UNWGIC will feature a high-level Opening Session, a Ministerial Dialogue and 4 Plenary Sessions dedicated to:

1. Attaining Sustainable Development;
2. Sharing the Digital Economy;
3. Building Smart Societies; and
4. Growing International Cooperation.

Through 7 dedicated thematic parallel sessions, the UNWGIC will then discuss:

1. Measuring and Monitoring the SDGs;
2. Digital Economy, Location Analytics and Big Data;
3. Smart, Resilient and Sustainable Societies;
4. Growing Global Geospatial Capability and Capacity;
5. Geospatial Innovation, Science and Technology;
6. Digital Silk Road and International Partnerships; and
7. Sustainable Development in Action.

Through 3 special sessions, the UNWGIC will showcase:

1. Measuring Deqing’s Progress Towards the SDGs with Geo-Statistical Information;
2. The UN-GGIM/ World Bank Integrated Geospatial Information Framework; and a
3. Young Professionals Summit convened by young professionals.

The UNWGIC will reflect the importance of geospatial information to support technological development, address the development and strengthening of geospatial information management systems and capacities, and demonstrate the importance of international coordination and cooperation for building a human data and geography community, against the three pillars of sustainable development, for a shared future and a better world, in which all are able to be counted within an inclusive global society.
While the actual UNWGIC plenary program covers three days (19-21 November), the overall event will be a week long (19-23 November), and will include global and regional meetings, workshops and learning events, side events and meetings, including the annual (2018) plenary meeting of national representatives from Member States to the Regional Committee of United Nations Global Geospatial Information Management for Asia and the Pacific (UN-GGIM-AP), as well as the annual UN-GGIM Expanded Bureau meeting.

Le thème de cette année, « Les SIG : dessiner le futur », englobe le perfectionnement personnel, l’avancement organisationnel et l’importance des SIG pour notre planète.
Ce thème aborde le moment extraordinaire que nous vivons à titre d’utilisateurs des SIG, avec l’expansion des capacités de calcul du nuage, le recours de plus en plus généralisé à la technologie mobile et à la captation de renseignements en temps réel, ainsi que les promesses de l’intelligence artificielle.
Découvrez comment les organisations canadiennes mobilisent leurs intervenants, favorisent le partage sécurisé des données, adoptent divers emplois de l’analyse d’emplacement, intègrent les données en temps réel (y compris les données 3D) et constatent à quel point l’utilisation des SIG leur permet d’être plus réactives et efficaces, et de créer, au bout du compte, un monde plus durable.
Joignez-vous à nous et laissez-vous inspirer par la façon dont notre communauté SIG repousse les limites du possible.

2018-11-14 08:00 - 2018-11-16 17:00 | Lord Nelson, 1515 South Park St, Halifax, Nova, B3J 2L2, Canada
The Geomatics Association of Nova Scotia (GANS) is excited to be hosting the annual Geomatics Atlantic Conference in Halifax November 14-16, 2018 at the Lord Nelson Hotel.
Healthier Oceans results in a Healthier Planet
We are planning for this to be the biggest cross-sector oceans conference in Atlantic Canada, capitalizing on the current energy and investment in the ocean sector.
Oceans, the largest ecosystem on earth are a vital lifeblood of our planet and mankind. They encompass nearly three quarter of the planet, supplying nearly half our oxygen and contain about 97% of our water. Everyday our oceans face major threats from climate change, pollution, habitat destruction, and a decreases in fish stocks.

This years Geomatics Atlantic theme is Oceans of Data and will be exploring innovation, cutting edge R&D, and the future of geomatics in the marine environment. The term geomatics represents a sector and technology that uses data collected by many different groups and connects many different sectors.
We are reaching out to all researchers, organizations and companies actively working on marine and coastal focused projects. We hope to have a cross-sectorial conference that includes: fisheries & aquaculture, energy & resources, mapping/hydrography, environment characterization, marine spatial planning, climate change, military applications, ocean technology and big data, all connected through geomatics.
