News and Noteworthy: Launceston Business Events
The North of Tasmania is a state built upon a culture of conviction, a place where people back themselves and support each other to pursue their goals.
Launceston is your gateway to this part of the island. A city that embraces its natural surroundings and celebrates everything the land provides.
Named as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, here you will find culinary experiences that demonstrate the connection the locals have with the agricultural industry with many makers and chefs bringing a pasture-to-plate philosophy to their dishes.
This month we have three events taking place in the exhilarating part of Tasmania, attracting over 450 delegates.

International Conference on Maritime Autonomy and Remote Navigation (ICMAR NAV) 2023
Delegates Numbers: 150
Estimated Economic Impact: $492,600
Lead by BET Visionary and Senior lecturer at the AMC, Dr. G. Reza Emad, the event takes place from Mon 27th to Thurs 30th November.
ICMAR Nav is designed to promote discussion about breakthroughs, challenges, and progression of autonomy in the maritime industry.
The theme of the inaugural event is ‘driving forward autonomy in maritime industry’ and will provide those working and researching with the industry a platform to discuss Autonomy – an important subject that includes many concepts and applications for maritime autonomy, that could greatly benefit the industry far beyond the illusion of unmanned ships, which the term ‘Maritime Autonomy’ seems to trigger.
