Following the Melbourne Spatial Technology Summit 2011 event last week, we received some wonderful testimonials from a number of attendees. Here are a few:
Surveyors:
“Congratulations! As a Surveyor, this is the best event and program of informative presentations I have seen in years!! The standard was top class! I particularly liked GPS / GNSS overview by Peter which conveyed clear explanations on how all these systems really work. The latest capabilities of the Pen Computers demonstrated showed real efficiency gains that could be achieved in the field too.”

Local Government:
“From a Local Government perspective, this was a very worthwhile event. . It was well organised and every presentation was relevant in one way or another. You did extremely well – it was a valuable day.”
John Cole
GIS Coordinator
City of Yarra
State Government:
“You put together a brilliant and valuable event! The order of the day moved well, it created a story on how spatial data is created and leveraged across organisations. It was obvious that the audience were truly engaged. The program reflected great thinking conceptually and practically. The Weed management, Emergency response mobile work force stories and the Neat Streets presentation showed how there are derived benefits even outside of standard Asset Management. Well done, really!”

Education:
“What a privilege it was to attend the Spatial Summit yesterday. It was obvious that it was such a worthwhile day for all the delegates who attended and your organisation was impeccable.
I am guessing that it was probably the first time that the Geography Teachers’ Association of Victoria (GTAV) had been represented and I am very grateful for the invitation to attend.
The content of the presentations was accessible, even to the layman, and it is wonderful to have the opportunity to pass on to teachers and hence the students of Geography the whole gamut of opportunities that are available in the spatial industries.”
