This week has seen another GEO Business take place over two days at ExCeL London. This enormous geospatial event saw thousands of visitors pour through the doors, eager to catch up with acquaintances, make new contacts, learn about new technology and much more.
120 global brands and start-ups were represented among the exhibitors at GEO Business 2023, with expert speakers presenting over 150 CPD sessions, which were available to attend at a variety of stages located around the vast exhibition space.
Technical Chair takes to the stage for PUMA
The morning of the second day saw our very own Technical Chair, Sam Roberts, take to the stage to talk about PUMA, our new PAS128 accreditation scheme for utility surveying companies that are TSA members. There is clearly already a high level of interest in this scheme and we look forward to reporting back in the coming months as members progress towards accreditation.
The TSA team was delighted to welcome a number of Council members to our stand over the two-day event to talk not only to current members, but to plenty of potential members too, as many visitors were keen to find out more about the benefits of membership of TSA. The TSA team also enjoyed hosting a drinks reception at the end of the first day, along with our partners from Chartered ICES and RICS. This short session provided an excellent opportunity for some further networking.
TSA Secretary General, Rachel Tyrrell, commented,
“As always, we enjoyed catching up with friends and meeting lots of new people at GEO Business. Our main message over the two-day event was that “every young person should know about land surveying as a career” and it was great to see this message displayed on our giveaway tote bags, which were eagerly seized by visitors and widely distributed throughout the exhibition hall! Watch this space for more details about our next member-only event.”
