Everything is starting to cook! Our Worldwide Virtual Surveyor Conference is heating up and tomorrow (Tuesday) will be Asian Land Surveyors Day and the third day of International Surveyors Week 2019. Over 2.2k surveyors are currently using the app so far and that is a great sign! As the week progresses, I remain hopeful for this experiment to bring us all closer together in a universal game of Show and Tell. Use this time to your advantage, within reason...
Show the public what they pay you for.
Plug your company and possibly get yourself a raise.
Unemployed? Qualified? Prove you can survey and get a surveying job. Share proof!
Don't be afraid to be the first to 'break the ice'! Start a discussion inside your Local Hub forum.

The world needs more land surveyors-inspire the next generation and build your legacy in geomatics.

Celebrate by contributing to the world's knowledge about land surveying
As Asia Land Surveyors Day comes to a close and International Surveyors Week continues on, Wednesday is European Land Surveyors Day and were looking forward to many photos and posts inside Local Chapter Hubs from the EU!

Thoughts
I absolutely love this week and I hate to say it, but you may be ahead of your time- mostly because surveyors don't seem to understand web technologies enough at this moment in time. Ironic huh... we use the most advanced tech known to man but many of us can't seem to figure out how to post a photo..lol...
Like you, I have been hoping for a lot more contributions and photos but the print media seem to have everyone so brainwashed. Thank you for doing this for all of us.... i know it takes a tremendous amount of time and energy to put all of this together. Unfortunately, surveyors just don't seem to care as much as they should about their own future and who they inspire. However, I see your hard work gaining traction every day and you appear to be doing the right thing.... hopefully, eventually everyone will come around. God Speed Justin
