ACSM/Esri combined conference
My wife asked me if I wanted to make a vacation out of the conference next year, so I started checking into the dates.
July?? What the heck? San Diego in July? I thought the ACSM conference was usually in April? I can handle April, although things usually start picking up around here in the spring. Come summer, forget it.
How does this co-sponsorship improve our profession nationally? It seems to me that there is the whole east coast Colonial Surveyors being left out of the national group, or at least not really taken into consideration.
I am all for the inclusion of GIS into our National Group but not interested in a corporate sponsorship that dictates the Land Surveyors.
I read that this years Esri conference was 49% Land Surveyors, imagine if they made it a real national conference in various regions through out the country instead of at their convenience.
I am very discouraged at this recent trend and hope for better days ahead.
They need to understand that there is the “bread and butter” members, such as myself with a membership going back to 1980, that deserves to be taken into consideration. We are not all presenters, academicians, or commercial Rep’s. There are some of us that would like to participate, too……
