Global technology provider Maptek has released the program for a 24-hour online conference on May 19 as part of its 40-year anniversary celebrations.

Maptek Connect 2021 offers all 36 talks free, with attendees encouraged to register for multiple sessions across the four regional streams.

Fittingly, the conference opens with a geology-themed topic delivered from Arrowtown in New Zealand, where the sun first rises on the Maptek global business day. The agenda follows the sun over the Asia-Pacific, Africa and Europe to the Americas, which features Spanish and English presentations.

The final session will be streamed live from Canada, where the Vancouver office signs off exactly 24 hours later.

Maptek CEO Eduardo Coloma says that Maptek Connect 2021 is an opportunity to see where METS technology is heading. “People should tune in to discover new ways to get value from our applications,” Coloma said. “It will be a great learning experience.”

“This year we are celebrating 40 years in innovation. We’re acknowledging our geological modeling roots in the 1970s while embracing new ways of working. Fast forward to the new millennium where data connectivity, cloud computing and optimization algorithms have become key to unlocking the power of automation.”
