Georabble Brisbane EOFY Party – Diversity Special

Yes, we are finally back! After a longer than planned gap between events, we are back with a bang. July is the perfect time to get out and celebrate and get out and catch up with old friends and meet some new friends and no better place than at a Georabble in Brisbane. If you haven’t already seen the news, Tuesday 18th is the big event. Tickets are already flying out the door, speakers lined up, food ordered, so what are you waiting for!

We have a special focus for this event on the important topics of Diversity and Inclusion. Georabble has always had this at the heart of its core values and from inception was an event for EVERYONE to enjoy. But challenges remain in the spatial industry. We want to celebrate how we have tackled some of those challenges and highlight what we can all do to continue to ensure the spatial industry is inclusive and embraces and celebrates diversity.

The amazing people from the Australian Spatial Analytics will sponsor the evening allowing some food and snacks for all. Thank you to ASA for supporting the event.

Our guest speakers for the evening are:

Michael Krome – Solving the Geospatial industry skills shortages with neurodiversity.

GeoRabble Sydney is back for 2023!

GeoRabble on Digital Twins – Revolutionary, Overhyped, or Underwhelming?

GeoRabble Sydney is back on Thursday the 20th of April and we have an exciting theme! It will ask the question … Digital Twins – are they overhyped, underwhelming or revolutionary?

The term Digital Twin has become unavoidable in our professional lives. It is worthwhile to examine what it means for us, for the industry and the broader community.  

To get this discussion going join us at the Occidential Hotel Wynard where we will have two knowledgeable and entertaining speakers present their respective views of Digital Twins, so you can make up your own mind!

  • Andra Christie, Solutions Architect from Amazon and Member of the emerging Digital Twin Partnership has a deep technology skill set that is being focused on the challenges and benefits of digital twins across a broad range of industries.
  • Ben Somerville, Group Manager – GIS & Geospatial at John Holland. A well know member of the GeoRabble community who daily works with major infrastructure projects across Australia and their need for geospatial data and capabilities.

The speakers will present their views on Digital Twins, followed by a Q&A session. Rabblers will engage in a lively and open discussion with the speakers and afterwards over drinks and pizza.

The night before Georabble Brisbane…..

1 more day before GeoRabble Brisbane celebrates Xmas and the end of 2022!


The hard-working committee have been making their lists and checking them twice and have been amazed at who has been naughty and who has been nice. Thankfully all are welcome at Georabble. Please continue to spread the word, we are predicting a record turnout and a really fun, enjoyable night of spatial networking.


The committee have freshened up the format a little. We have three amazing speakers, followed by a Q & A Panel where you the audience can ask anything to our spatial luminaries (hand-picked from the ‘nice’ list)
We will put out the QR Code to allow anyone to ask questions throughout the night. Please keep them clean, positive and high level. Questions about what is your favourite projection, or why is a certain software so expensive… will not be allowed.


We can’t wait to see everyone once again, now don’t be that friend who allows someone to miss out as they didn’t know it was on. And don’t forget to register, please!

An open and inclusive forum for GeoGeeks to share, inspire and have fun.
