FIG President Stig Enemark and Incoming President CheeHai Teo attend The XI International Congress, San Jose, Costa Rica, 17–19 September 2010.
The theme for the congress was "Geomatics: Current Trends in Geodesy, Topography and Cadastre" reflecting the current challenges and opportunities encountered by the profession not only in Costa Rica but also the region.
The formation of APPA – the Asociacion Panamericana de Profesionales en Agrimensurawas was a highlight and also represented the culmination of efforts by FIG over about ten years to mobilise the surveying profession within Latin America.
FIG has pledged to work with this latest regional structure to develop and advance the profession in the Americas. A major opportunity in this regard will be FIG Regional Conference that is likely to held in Montevideo, Uruguay, by the end of 2012.
