SaGES 2025 CONFERENCE
2025-06-15 08:00 - 2025-06-19 17:00 (America/Toronto) | BCIT Downtown Campus, 555 Seymour St, Vancouver, BC, British Columbia, Canada
SaGES 2025 Conference
Date: June 15 – June 19
Location: BCIT Downtown Campus
555 Seymour St, Vancouver, BC

British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) is pleased to be hosting the 29th biennial conference of the Surveying and Geomatics Educators Society (SaGES).

About SaGES (Surveying and Geomatics Educators Society)

The surveying educators’ conferences in the USA and Canada started in 1937 at Rainy Lake, Minnesota, with Iowa State University being the first conference host. The educators’ main concerns at that time were focused on surveying instruction in civil engineering programs and the lack of a national presence for the surveying profession. Since then numerous conferences have taken place.
SaGES was born from the surveying educators’ conferences in 2009, continuing the “spirit of Rainy Lake.” The feeling was that the educators should have a formal society to help with the organization of the conference. The society would also help in increasing the conference attendance, seek for collaborations, formally represent educators in other professional organizations, and create better means for addressing the important challenges in surveying education.

2025-09-19 15:00 - 16:00 (America/Halifax) | COGS, 50 Elliott Rd, Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia, B0S 1M0, Canada
GoGeomatics Canada is excited to return to COGS for our annual Back to School Meetup, bringing together students, educators, researchers from the Applied Geomatics Research Group, and professionals from across Nova Scotia’s geomatics community.
We’re proud to acknowledge the Canadian Institute of Geomatics (CIG) as our Nova Scotia sponsor for this event.
At 3:00 PM, we’ll host a timely panel discussion on “The Future of Canada’s Geomatics Sector,” examining how federal infrastructure investments, Canadian sovereignty in geomatics, and emerging geospatial technologies are reshaping the industry. This is at the auditorium at COGS in Lawrencetown.
Our expert panel includes:

Jonathan Murphy, founder and managing director of GoGeomatics Canada, a connector and community leader in the geo-space who launched Canada’s largest geospatial network and GeoIgnite, the country’s flagship geospatial conference

Ted Mackinnon, Senior Geomatics Technologist at Natural Resources Canada’s Surveyor General Branch in Atlantic Canada, with over 25 years of experience spanning GIS, LiDAR, remote sensing, surveying, and strong academic and professional certifications

Dr. Tim Webster, research scientist at NSCC’s Applied Geomatics Research Group, renowned for pioneering LiDAR-based coastal, watershed, and climate resilience mapping, with over 30 years of experiential leadership and numerous awards in the region

This panel offers a unique opportunity for COGS students and early-career geomatics professionals to:

Connect academic learning with real-world applications—by hearing how geospatial technology supports critical national infrastructure, environmental monitoring, and sovereignty

Engage with leaders shaping Canada’s geospatial future—warming up their professional networks with prominent figures like Jonathan, Ted, and Tim

Gain actionable insights on the evolving career opportunities, certification paths, and interdisciplinary skills needed to thrive in today’s geo-economy

After the panel, please join us at The Capitol Pub in Middleton for a relaxed, off-campus networking and social session—perfect for making new connections, sharing ideas, and building camaraderie within Nova Scotia’s geomatics community.
Whether you’re launching your geomatics journey or enhancing your professional practice, this event will connect you with insights, inspiration, and valuable industry relationships. All are welcome — we look forward to seeing you there!
