Exhibitors, speakers and delegates from all over the world will gather to discuss the latest on drone technology, applications and business.

The inaugural World of Drones 2017 (WoDC 2017) was held at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre from 31 August to 2 September 2017. Over 630 delegates from across the Asia Pacific and beyond attended and the congress featured a fascinating Expo with over 30 exhibitors from Australia, China and Japan. The program included the launch of Australia’s very first state-wide Drones Strategy by the Premier of Queensland and the first Australian National Drone Safety Forum.

The Conference will explore the liveability of our metropolitan and regional urban centres, with an emphasis on who is leading the renewal, the importance of collaboration and co-design and what aspects are important to implement strategies that result in sustainable economic, social and environmental successes. The discussion at the 2018 Conference will focus on sustainable transport solutions, greening and redesign of cities, renewing regional areas, integrating community decisions, government policy, health and wellbeing and strategies for environment implementation.

The Summit will unpack what it means to be a smart city and smart community, how transportation and asset management can be done differently, how we engage with our citizens, and how governments can plan for the disruptors.

With no sight of dense urbanisation slowing, architects and engineers face myriad challenges when developing new high-rise buildings and skyscrapers to cater for growing vertical cities. With a focus on sustainable materials, lowered energy ratings, innovative and advancing technology, liveability and appealing design, those who create Australian skylines have much to consider. These themes and trends will be comprehensively discussed by industry experts at this year's Australian Smart Skyscrapers Summit. Like no other industry event in the Southern Hemisphere, the Summit convenes an array of speakers and attendees from across the globe, all who have valuable international and local sector insights.

The Broadband for the Bush Alliance (B4BA) hosts an annual forum to address the issues of Internet connectivity in regional, rural and remote Australia.
