The professional surveyor has never been known for standing out in the spotlight. As a somewhat subdued profession, we have shied away from attention and notoriety to quietly go about our business. In today’s world, however, being bolder and more outspoken has become the key to being noticed by the environment around us. A solid public relations program is the key to promoting the profession and social media has become a major part of this “megaphone of information” method of communication utilized by nearly everyone. So how does the professional surveyor join the masses and embrace this extroverted method of communication?

As new technologies expand the range of options for geospatial data collection, surveyors and mapping professionals must decide which platforms best fit their goals. This session brings together lessons learned from projects using drones, helicopters, and traditional surveying methods. Speakers will compare cost, accuracy, efficiency, and operational considerations, helping attendees identify when each approach delivers the greatest value.

The geospatial industry is in the midst of a generational and technological shift. As automation, AI, and advanced analytics change how work gets done, new opportunities—and new challenges—are emerging for both established professionals and those just entering the field. This panel brings together experienced industry leaders and rising geospatial talent to discuss how the workforce is evolving and what it will take to thrive in the years ahead.

Panelists will explore the forces driving this transformation, from emerging technologies and interdisciplinary skill sets to new expectations around flexibility, collaboration, and professional development. The conversation will address how education and training programs are adapting, what organizations can do to attract and retain top talent, and how mentorship and knowledge transfer can bridge the gap between generations.
