FIG Working Week 2023 - Orlando, FL May 28 to June 1, 2023

Who is "FIG"?

FIG is the premier international organization representing the interests of surveyors worldwide. It is a federation of the national member associations and covers the whole range of professional fields within the global surveying, geomatics, geodesy and geoinformation community. It provides an international forum for discussion and development aiming to promote professional practice and standards.

FIG was founded on July 18, 1878 in Paris by delegates from seven national associations - Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Spain and Switzerland - and was known as the Fédération Internationale des Géomètres. This has become anglicized to the International Federation of Surveyors. It is an UN-recognized nongovernment organization (NGO), representing more than 120 countries throughout the world, and its aim is to ensure that the disciplines of surveying and all who practice them meet the needs of the markets and communities that they serve.

This figure is based on a post-event survey from the e-Working Week in the Netherlands, 2021. All respondents to the post-event survey answered that they would recommend FIG conferences to colleagues and friends. Join us in Orlando, Florida US to be a part of creating another coveted conference.
