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). 

Join us in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from June 15 to 19, 2025. 

Vancouver is a world-class city on the west coast of Canada.  Nestled between the Salish Sea, the Fraser River, and the Coast Mountains, the city offers a beautiful natural backdrop for academia, industry, and government to exchange ideas, promote common causes, and provide opportunities to improve the teaching and learning of geomatics. 

About SaGES

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.
