Esri and ACSM Shape a New Event for Surveyors and Mapping Professionals

July 29, 2010

Esri announced The Survey Summit, a new conference co-hosted by Esri and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM). It is designed for surveyors who are interested in geospatial technologies to explore the newest technology trends, workflows, equipment, and business opportunities in surveying and related fields. The Summit will also provide unparalleled training and networking opportunities.

According to the announcement, the inaugural Survey Summit will take place next summer, July 9–12, 2011, concurrently with the Esri International User Conference (Esri UC). It will serve as the ideal forum for anyone interested in geographic information system (GIS) technology, as well as emerging technologies such as lidar, and 3D scanning, to better equip their organizations to serve emerging markets. The education-rich agenda will also include ways for participants to interact and collaborate at the summit.

“ACSM has served as a voice of land surveyors and mappers for over 70 years,” says Brent Jones, Esri’s surveying, cadastral, and land records industry manager. “As the surveying and geospatial industries continue to make technological advances together, it makes sense that the professionals of these related fields join together at one premier conference. We’re excited to have ACSM as part of the Survey Summit. It’s a must-attend event for the surveying community, as it provides access to the pinnacle of technology available to surveyors and mappers.”

The new summit, to be held at the San Diego Convention Center in California, will replace the Esri Survey & Engineering GIS Summit. Abstract submissions for user paper presentations will open this month and online registration soon thereafter. The abstract submission deadline is December 6, 2010.
