More than 400 surveyors convened for the 2006 Survey and GIS Summit at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California, from August 5 to 8 to discuss what is new, what is changing, and what is in store for the future of surveying and GIS.
This year's summit focused on the intrinsic relationship between surveyors and those, such as GIS professionals, who rely on spatial data. "We're going to talk about the successes that surveyors have had with GIS and the new things that GIS has to offer surveyors; but most important, we're going to talk about what surveyors have to offer GIS," said Brent Jones, ESRI surveying industry solutions manager, as he kicked off the Summit's Plenary Session. Jones' sentiments echoed throughout the summit as surveyors dove into the newest GIS technology and explored their role in the evolving GIS field.
