| 9th FIG Young Surveyors Conference in Collaboration with GCA Young and Emerging Professionals
Under the theme "Next-Gen Geospatial Professionals: Driving a
Digitally Enabled Future", this year’s conference is your gateway to
the cutting edge of the geospatial industry. Join us as we explore
the power of emerging technologies, innovative practices, and global
collaboration to shape a future that’s digitally dynamic and
sustainable. This is where young minds meet seasoned experts, big
ideas spark action, and YOU become part of the movement driving
transformation in surveying and beyond. Prepare to network, learn,
and be inspired by a dynamic program filled with interactive
workshops, panel sessions, and hands-on experiences. Whether you're
passionate about advancing tech, solving real-world problems, or
connecting with fellow trailblazers, this is your stage to shine!
Let’s push boundaries and chart a course for tomorrow’s geospatial
solutions, together! |

| ArcGIS Parcel Fabric for Modern Cadastral Systems: by Esri
With increasing uses of parcel data, accuracy and completeness are
critical. In this workshop attendees will learn about the Parcel
Fabric data model and how to extend it for their organization's
data. The parcel fabric supports an authoritative system of record
for land management, with each parcel tied to a legal document that
allows historical lineage to be easily viewed and changes to be
tracked. The workshop will cover several key components of the
parcel fabric including: easy data migration, extensibility,
parcel-based measurements (COGO), land transaction/survey record
management, built-in quality control and configurable workflows. |

Commission: FIG Task Force SDG
Chair: Ganesh Prasad Bhatta
Rapporteur: Marisa Balas
Join us for a session dedicated to the role of governmental
bodies to discuss their pivotal role in achieving the 2030
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Governments have a crucial
role with the implementation and raising awareness of the SDGs.
We will discuss about the SDG’s that are fundamental to the core
tasks of the government to increase tenure security and women’s
access to land: SDG 1 and SDG 5. The data to show progress on
the indicators related tenure security (1.4.2) and gender
equality (5.a.1 and 5.a.2) is lacking globally. At the same time
progress is happening but not (enough) reflected in the
reporting. What can we do to make sure that more data is
available and progress can be shown? Engage with experts, share
experiences, and gain practical tools to make a significant
impact. Together, let's pave the way to a sustainable and more
equitable future! John Gitau (Kenya):

relationships between traditional land surveying and mapping and
geospatial / GIS roles and how Director-General’s establish
effective strategies, policies and operations within their
jurisdictions to tackle national priorities. How are these
activities organised across different FIG member countries? How does
government, industry and academia work together to support and
attract the next generation to our profession?
This year’s DG

Join us for an engaging pre-event session that explores cutting-edge
technologies revolutionizing sidewalk mapping. We’ll showcase an
AI-powered computer vision system that extracts physical features
from 360-degree camera footage, and a user-friendly smartphone app
enabling community members to map crucial accessibility details
directly into OpenStreetMap (OSM). Discover how these innovations
empower communities, enhance urban inclusivity, and transform the

By integrating the SDGs into academic curricula, we can equip

goes beyond just teaching—it’s about inspiring action, fostering
innovation, and cultivating a generation of changemakers who see
themselves as pivotal players in achieving the SDGs. How can the
SDGs be integrated into academic curricula to ensure that future
professionals contribute to the sustainable development of their
territories, while being conscious of their role in achieving
the SDGs? Education plays a pivotal role in shaping the leaders
of tomorrow, and embedding sustainability into academic programs
is essential for creating a workforce. Rosario Casanova (Uruguay) and Joep Crompvoets:

The programme topics are about the Global Challenges in Academia
and how they are affecting Queensland, Australia. Talking about
Global Challenges, the following topics could be a good starting
point for discussion:
- Artificial Intelligence in Education
(proper usage or misuse);
- Decreasing number of students
(and academicians) in the Geospatial programmes; and
-
Well-being of students and academics after Covid and Social
Media influences.

Accurately
measuring relative sea level rise is essential for assessing
climate change impacts on coastal resilience, infrastructure,
and ecosystems. This special technical session brings together
experts to explore cutting-edge advancements in hydrography,
geodesy, and remote sensing, aimed at improving measurement
precision and data reliability. Featuring insights from leading
researchers and practitioners, the session will bridge the gap
between scientific research and real-world applications to
strengthen coastal adaptation strategies globally. Jointly
organized by Commission 4 (Hydrography) and the Climate Compass
Task Force (CCTF), the session will include thought-provoking
presentations and an engaging panel discussion.
