Awards 2011

The South Australian Spatial Excellence Awards (SASEA) aims to recognise and acknowledge excellence in the South Australian spatial information industry.  Celebrating our achievements is an important step for continued industry growth in South Australia, and in promoting the spatial industry as an innovative and exciting prospect for investment, study and employment.

The Awards were presented at the SASEA 2011 Dinner on Friday 5th August at Adelaide Convention Centre, following Spatial Information Day 2011.
