The 2026 Celebratory Event will be hosted by our friends and colleagues from the South African Geomatics Institute (SAGI) and the Commonwealth Association of Surveying and Land Economy (CASLE), currently leading the Forum of Regional Bodies (FoRB). The event will also feature addresses from FIG President Diane Dumashie FRICS, CASLE President Prof Charisse Griffith-Charles FRICS, a panel discussion featuring Tim Burch (NSPS – USA), Peter Newmarch (SAGI – South Africa), Jean-Yves Pirlot (CLGE – Europe) and James Kavanagh (RICS/CASLE – UK) focused on ‘The Vital Role of Local and Regional Organisations in Surveying’ and the unveiling of the 2026 Surveyor of the Year (Irene Barclay UK was the 2025 winner), and an update on FIG Congress 2026 in Cape Town, South Africa–

Advance registration is required.
