2014 Land Surveying Division Annual Dinner – 24 October 2014

With the theme of “Surveying & Development,” the LSD’s annual dinner will be held on 24 October 2014 at the Royal Plaza Hotel (Junior Ballroom I, Level 3, 193 Prince Edward Road West, Kowloon) with a cocktail reception starting at 6:30 PM before the dinner.

 

It is our pleasure to have Mr Eric SC MA, the Undersecretary for Development, as the Guest of Honour for this ceremony.

 

It is a precious opportunity for people working in land surveying to network and establish or strengthen their friendships. You may wish to meet not only land surveying and GIS members, but the practitioners of other surveying disciplines, who represent different organisations like the government, academia, equipment suppliers, and software and service providers.

 

We look forward to seeing you.
