The 11th South East Asian Survey Congress (11th SEASC 2011) and the 13th International Surveyors’ Congress (13th ISC 2011), will be held from 22 to 24 June 2011 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with the theme “INNOVATION TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY”. This combined event would be organised in conjunction with and as part of the Institution of Surveyors Malaysia’s (ISM) 50th year celebrations. In this regards, ISM, in collaboration with AFLAG (ASEAN Federation of Land Surveying and Geomatics) and the Association of Authorised Land Surveyors Malaysia (PEJUTA) are most honoured and privileged to play host to both prestigious events.
The Congress intends to highlight initiatives aimed at encouraging the convergence, sharing and use of innovative technologies and knowledge as well as other initiatives to forge new collaborations and identify potential avenues for research, development and innovation across all related disciplines for the benefit of the profession and the community towards sustainable development.
A general Congress programme has been tentatively outlined, i.e. as follows:
On the first day, i.e. 22 June 2011, registration of delegates, Official Opening Ceremony, Keynote Session and Parallel Technical Sessions will be undertaken. This will be followed with a Congress Dinner in the evening.
On the second day, continuation of the Keynote Session will be made in the morning and the Parallel Technical Sessions in the afternoon, pursuant to which will be a Philharmonic Encounter/Cultural Show in the evening.
On the third and last day, Keynote Session in the morning and Parallel Technical Sessions, in the afternoon will be conducted. Additionally, a forum on the future and updates of FIG Work Plans are scheduled, followed by ISM’s Divisional Annual General Meetings in the late afternoon.
There will also be several technical tours on offer to the delegates that will take them to some of the most interesting places in and around the city of Kuala Lumpur as well as its outskirts. Another highlight of the event is an exhibition where over 100 exhibitors that include survey equipment suppliers, solution providers and property developers are expected to showcase their products. AFLAG Council Meetings and AFLAG Biennial General Meeting would also be organised at the convenience of its members on 25 June 2011.
As a forum for exchange of information and experience, both events will also provide participants a window of opportunity to meet fellow professionals from other parts of the world, to hear issues first hand and to reflect on solutions proposed or implemented by others. I am confident that everyone will benefit tremendously from this gathering.
I welcome and look forward to meeting you all in Kuala Lumpur.

Welcoming Note by the ISM President |

For three days in June 2011, The Institution of Surveyors Malaysia will host the 13th International Surveyors Congress. This is a yearly, highlight event, for the Institution, and we are proud that it has been organised without interruption for the past 12 years.
The 13th International Surveyors Congress has, however, a additional significance, and this is because it falls within the Institution's Golden Jubilee year, and it is for that reason that we bid for and secured the rights to host, in conjunction, the 11th South East Asian Survey Congress or SEASC.
SEASC is the flagship event of the ASEAN Federation of Land Surveying and Geomatics. The Federation is a Surveying NGO recognised by the ASEAN Secretariat and in the past has been helmed by our Past President Dr Khoo Boo Kean.
SEASC is also a regional event supported by FIG where FIG normally runs a few parallel technical sessions. It is also a an established regional event with audiences not only from South East Asia, but also from East Asia (Hong Kong, China, Korea and Japan), the Australasia and in recent events, Africa and the Indian Sub-continent.
The Institution of Surveyors Malaysia looks forward to a successful Congress.
