Throughout history, surveyors have remained the pioneers of discovery shaping our world to its current existence by exploring the unknown on earth and in space. Fast forward to 2013 when the signing of the Budapest declaration created a common worldwide celebration for those leaders, past and present.
Global Surveyors’ Day is a way to globally recognise the ground-breakers, pioneers, individuals and the industry that has shaped our history and continues to be the foundation of our communities.
