Young Surveyors Conference
The Young Surveyors had their own successful Conference in a hotel next door and had furthermore access to the full congress programme as well. The atmosphere was dynamic, interactive and with a focus to documentation via social media. Eva-Maria Unger from Austria presented the results of this event to the general assembly of FIG: ‘Yes we are the future and we are dreaming big’. During the three conference days there were both plenary sessions with many high level speakers as well as several workshops. 180 Young Surveyors had found their way to the FIG Congress.
