The Annual FIG Director Generals Forum brings together Chief Executives or Director Generals (or their representatives or nominees) of national (or provincial) agencies and FIG Affiliate Membership that has responsibility over mapping, cadastral, valuation, planning and development, land administration and management from around the world. The Forum allows peer-to-peer engagement to address the challenges and opportunities of the times including the responsibility of national agencies to stay relevant and effective within its jurisdiction.
Following the DG Forum in Sofia, Bulgaria, in 2015, we will again focus on 3D mapping in the first session. This is an issue of growing importance, and the objective is to share the latest developments and lessons – not only in technical aspects but maybe more concerning financing, benefits and involvement of stakeholders.
The UN GGIM initiative has grown in importance, and in involvement of UN member states. A number of Work Groups have been started at global level in the five UN regions. One of these groups concerns Disaster Risk Reduction, where 3D mapping can be a very important tool, e.g. in predicting and monitoring the effects of erosion, floods and other natural disasters. Our intention is to present what this Work Group is doing, and how our organizations can get involved and contribute to this important work.
Keynote speakers:The Task Force on Commission Structure was established at the General Assembly of the FIG Working Week 2015 in Sofia. At the session the following question is asked: Do the FIG Commissions reflect the technological advances and challenges of today or is there maybe a need to restructure our Commissions to support our surveyors appropriately in the future?
The Task Force on Scientific Journal was established at the General Assembly of the FIG Working Week 2015 in Sofia. The aim of the Task Force is to evaluate all aspects of establishing a journal under FIG umbrella. Join the session and join the discussion.
Be part in shaping the FIG Young Surveyors Network - and this in full speed! Get your seatbelt fasten and get to know the work, challenges and vision of our network. In this dynamical Workshop participants have the possibility of presenting and brainstorming their ideas on 'our future network'. So join us to keep on building the FIG Young Surveyors Network: International, Regional and National and more important - be part of the future.
The 2016 FIG Corporate Members Meeting is where the corporate membership within FIG meets the FIG Administration to exchange information, provide feedbacks and discuss on-going and proposed activities.
The FIG Commissions are responsible for pursuing FIG's professional and technical objectives and are the backbone of the professional work in FIG. The Commission meetings are open for everyone who are interested in the work. After the meeting each commission organise a dinner.
Join the meetings in following rooms:
The Task Force on Real Estate Market Study was established at the General Assembly of the FIG Working Week 2015 in Sofia. The aim is to carry out a study on the real property markets in the UNECE region.
This session offers a chance to get the pulse on the current situation and preliminary re-sults of the Task Force. It offers a great opportunity to bring in new ideas and discuss the questions around the real estate market topic in a wider perspective. We are convinced that we, the Task Force, will gain more insight from these discussions and they will un-doubtedly help us to prepare for the first seminar and along the way towards the final findings. So, join us and help us cast a solid foundation for the work.

Technology for Land Administration - Cadastre, National Mapping and
Valuation in the Developed and Developing World
Most countries in the world are working towards modernizing their land
administration systems – cadastre, national mapping, and valuation.
Ongoing challenges include—keeping authoritative land information
current, complete, accurate, and secure while providing access to data
across multiple networks to multiple stakeholders. Legacy technology
puts up barriers that inhibit access to data across ministries,
departments, and municipal and national offices. Complex, highly
customized workflows can be cumbersome, inefficient, and costly to
maintain. Hard coded, custom systems are very costly to maintain,
update, and sustain and are vulnerable to security breaches.
Leveraging the cloud, webGIS, mobile devices, global standards and best practices, this session will provide attendees with an understanding of how to improve and implement new land administration capabilities quickly and easily. All conference attendees are welcome. An interactive discussion is expected.
30 minutes Open discussion facilitated by Kees de Zeeuw, The Netherlands.

Christchurch suffered severe earthquake sequences in 2010 and 2011 which caused significant damage to property and infrastructure. In these sessions, professional water and drainage engineers from CIWEM's Network in New Zealand tell their story of disaster recovery in the immediate aftermath of the earthquakes, the strategies which were developed and implemented to deal with the risks inherent in such situations and the significant efforts which have gone into planning, designing and building the infrastructure for the new Christchurch. Richly illustrated with case studies on key infrastructure, this series of presentations demonstrates the appliance of expertise and teamwork, coupled with a whole life costing methodology, used in evaluating and developing resilient installations and systems for the future. The speakers will share experiences in the lessons learnt over the last 5 years, what expertise is transferrable to other disaster sites around the globe and the opportunity to trial new technology - pushing the barriers of experience to develop, design and deliver smart, cost-effective solutions for the city's infrastructure.
