“International Surveyors Week 2015
International Land Surveyors Week 2015 (June 14-21) is for Land Surveyors in any country on earth to celebrate the value of professional land surveyors in society. This is our 3rd year celebrating this week and it is slowly changing the industry into a more open and engagable situation for surveyors all around the world. Have you recently noticed all of the surveying magazines and forum websites pushing the idea that they are global and/or international? No need to wonder why.. just look at what we are doing together here on Land Surveyors United. Stand up and represent your area of the world by introducing yourself in Groups for practically every inch of the earth! What we are building is a comprehensive network for educating those new to surveying about both the similarities and differences shared between surveyors around the world based on locations, which we all know carry different guidelines and rules. Tell us stories about your surveying experiences where you live and enjoy reading the stories of others who live elsewhere, but face similar professional challenges. In the future, the most well rounded surveyors will be those who understand how things are done outside of their local environment. Build, Grow and Improve your Surveying Carrier, Together!” http://flip.it/xU3K2

“Happy National Surveyors Week 2015 Everyone!
The purpose of Surveyors Week (NSPS) is to bring visibility to the profession. During Surveyors Week, land surveyors across the nation celebrate by educating the public on what they do & why it is important; encouraging students to consider surveying as a career choice; and participating in activities that promote and bring awareness to the surveying profession. All licensees, governmental agencies, technical professional organizations and citizens groups are encouraged to join the celebration.” http://flip.it/iymZT“Survey Earth in a Day Event which occurs in mid June is a time for celebrating the land surveying profession and global surveying culture, worldwide.For those who are new to the community this year, SEIAD is when surveyors around the world simultaneously gather GNSS/GPS data from a known point near their location and submit it to the network, which we then plot on a map. This year, being our 4th year for SEIAD, submitted data will be layered on top of data from previous years. This day accounts as the largest geospatial event in history as it allows surveyors to participate in their own location. As June 21st steadily approaches us again, we are preparing for our 4th and largest Survey Earth in a Day event to date. This year it will be called 4D as we will be layering the data from our previous 3 years into a single map, representing points data gathered from thousands of locations around the planet by professional surveyors. With close to 3 thousand more members than we had even last year, we are hoping that all of you will participate from your location on June 21st.” http://flip.it/HrFut
