Dear Kariyono Kariyono,

FIG Working Week, 22–26 April 2019

at Vietnam National Convention Center, Hanoi

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the largest and most prestigious conference of surveying
professionals in 2019, this year held in Vietnam. We expect 1,000–1,500 surveying and spatial experts
from around 70–80 countries. The week-long conference offers a mix of interesting plenary and technical
sessions and workshops, a trade exhibition and a variety of side events and social functions. The
technical programme will consist of around 400 presentations within the field of surveying including best
practice and new research.

With the theme Geospatial information for a smarter life and environmental resilience, the conference
will focus on how to work towards a smarter life both through the development of smart sustainable cities
and the development of rural areas. Spatial information, big data, surveying, BIM, land administration
and much more are essential factors in this development.

FIG Working Week gives passionate professions the opportunity to:

• Learn globally
