Women in Spatial

Picture
Women in Spatial is a SSSI initiative designed to   to engage women in surveying and spatial sciences. The launch of the program in the NT will  offer women in the industry the opportunity to come together in a relaxed and informal forum to present and discuss ideas followed by high tea (champagne and fine food). More information about the national Women in Spatial group can be found here   

A cross section of women in the spatial profession (government, academia, private industry/volunteer sector, and a research student) will be presenting at the launch on Wednesday the 21st March 2012 on a number of focus topics:
  • What brought you into spatial as a career?
  • What is a "typical" day on the job for you?
  • Your persepective on challenges for spatial from the private industry point of view.
The presentation format, is “Fast Forward”. Each speaker is given five minutes to speak on a subject accompanied by 20 slides. Each slide is displayed for 15 seconds, and slides are automatically advanced. There will be no Question and Answer time. There will be 5 speakers which will allow for plenty of networking time. 

Please note that this is not a women only event - men are most welcome to attend also.

This event is free to attend, but registration is required for catering purposes.
