Surveying Christchurch
Christchurch is proving a fertile learning ground for land and building professionals who are choosing to conference here. More than 1200 surveyors from all over the world met in the city earlier this month for a five day working conference hosted by the New Zealand Institute of Surveyors.
The FIG working week brought together the international community of surveying and spatial professionals to share innovative science with policymakers and stakeholders, at adjoining venues Horncastle Arena and Addington Raceway and a gala dinner at the Air Force Museum of New Zealand.
In 2012, we promised the organisers our city would deliver a great event and four years later we have. Later this month Christchurch is hosting more than 450 delegates for five days to the Pacific Association of Quantity Surveyors Congress, another big vote of confidence in our city.
