Here are some highlights:

• Modernizing the State Plane Coordinate System: The 2022 revamping of the SPCS will provide surveyors across the country with a geospatial framework that supports all positioning technologies.
• Geospatial Adventure: Surveying in Alaska is different from surveying in the Lower 48. Elements most surveyors don’t typically encounter are in play, like jaw-dropping scenery and dangerous wildlife.
• Avoiding Lawsuits: Most surveyors, thankfully, will never get sued. But to ensure you’re one of them, there are some simple steps you can take to make sure you’re doing everything possible to avoid that possibility.
• The GeoDude: In the early days of a start-up company’s development of a new technology, interactions with leading survey instrumentation and AEC software companies were crucial as the search for a financial partner got underway.
