Professional Land Surveyors of Oregon Annual Conference

I'm signed up. See you there.

Wish it were a little later. Clearing my plate to visit with my daughter. She is getting a late Christmas break from her job overseas...

Hope it doesn't snow in PDX on Wednesday like it did Wednesday of this week!!!

See you there, heading out today for a week in Portland; memorial service, work and the conference.

We should be knee deep in slush by next Wednesday. Supposed to be 50 degrees Tuesday.

Flying in Tuesday evening.

See you all there

Have fun!

Always fun at the PLSO! 😎 :rofl:

Can someone take pictures; for those of us who can't make it? :innocent:

Heading over the mountains on Tuesday. I hope by then the roads are clear of snow and that the predicted rain and resulting snow melt doesn't overwhelm bridges, culverts and the like. It's been a nasty winter with lots of accidents on the highways...

It should be over by now. Comments? Pix? Stories?

There must of been photos and stories, but I didn't take a single photo and I can't repeat anything I heard 🙂

I am actually still at the confrence venue, heading home in the morning.

Did see the Javard rep, they actually had a factory rep there.

Went to one of Dr Elgin's sessions of Elgin, Knowles & Senne, Inc. fame. First time ever catching him on the circuit. The always entertaining and informative Dave Doyle was there, attended three hours of his sessions.

Managed to get 13.5 PDH's out of a possible 18 offered, just couldn't sit through more than that and the networking was well worth the skipped classes.

Understatement of the month.

I too had a very enjoyable time and also cannot repeated anything I heard 🙂 . I did see Mr. Putman complete with pink ribbon around his wrists https://surveyorconnect.com/community/threads/what-cant-you-use-pink-ribbon-for.329459/page-2#post-409515 :). Mr. Michael Pallamary, and Mr. Evan Page once again were very thought provoking and enjoyable. Royce Hill's presentation of DLC's was very informative and entertaining. I also enjoyed BPA's presentation on their r/w's and that common sense was still alive within the young presenters in a large Federal organization. I was amazed at the technical knowledge our NSPS lobbyist had and could relate to the political scene. Together with networking and story telling it was a great conference that I would like to say, to all who were involved, Thank you! Jp

Like the earrings.

Nice to see everyone again. Hopefully I didn't miss a scheduled Beerlegger?

Thanks to the Conference committee for another great meeting.

Great Conference with good presentations! Even the food was ok.

I am trying to get photo's together. I took some but I know other conference staff took many more. I personally had a great time networking and seeing things run pretty smoothly. We did unfortunately have two speakers that had to cancel due to the weather but those classes were offset by other good options.

Feel free to take a look at out lineup of classes linked at the following site to let me know what you think of our conference.
