The recent Australian Hydrographers Association Conference and Exhibition was held in Perth and was deemed to be a great success. Over 250 delegates were there, with a number of international visitors attending. The theme of this year’s Conference was Hydrography – Reflection, Refinement, Resurgence and gave exhibitors the opportunity to showcase projects, exchange experiences and learn about a wide range of subjects related to Hydrography in Australia and from around the World.
The ES&S stand was a big hit, with visitors viewing a range of exciting and new products including:
