Dear colleague,

It is our great pleasure and honor to invite you and your colleagues to 
attend the FIG Working Week in Christchurch, New Zealand from 2-6 May 
2016. FIG Working Week is an exciting week-long conference that brings 
the international community of surveying professionals together.

The overall theme is *Recovery from Disaster*. New Zealand is a 
(relatively) geologically active country with a history of seismic 
events and post-earthquake Christchurch is an ideal location from which 
to consider this theme. Many inhabitants throughout the world face 
various kinds of disasters, apart from earthquakes as in Christchurch, 
such as flooding, storm events, tsunamis, drought, the after effects of 
conflict etc. that are a world-wide challenge, especially taking the 
effects of climate change into consideration. Disasters, natural or 
otherwise, directly impact surveyors and spatial professionals and their 
work on the land, under the seas, in the air and in space.

The three consecutive conference days, 3-5 May will give you an 
interesting mix of:

**

	

*HIGHLEVEL PLENARY SESSIONS***

Each day invited international recognized experts will deal with topics 
within the overall theme of the Working Week “Recovery from Disaster”. 
They will address key challenges of our time within the surveying 
profession.
