RISM ACTIVITIES

The Malaysian Surveyor

17th
International
Surveyors
Congress

Held on 11th-12th June 2015 at One World Hotel, Petaling
Jaya, Selangor, the 17th International Surveyors Congress
was a very successful 2015 event organised by the Royal
Institution of Surveyors Malaysia (RISM). The official opening
was done by the Minister of Works, YB Dato’ Sri Haji Fadillah.

The Congress theme is ‘Integrating for Excellence’ and
this within people, business and organisations. It is about
embedding excellence whilst embracing the concept of
integrated working thus reaping the benefits by a holistic view
not only in terms of leaderships, strategy and organisation
effectiveness but also in aspects of culture and values.

Over 460 delegates attended and participated in the two-day
Conference, which brought together surveyors from around
the nation. We had about 20 speakers in total including the
divisional sessions who presented their papers. At the foyer
of the main ballroom, we accommodated 27 booths that
displayed the latest in surveying technology from related
companies and higher learning institutions as well.
