Celebrating International Surveyors Day 2025
International Surveyors Day (ISD)
Surveying, one of humanity’s oldest professions, continues to evolve at the forefront of infrastructure development, land stewardship, and geospatial technology. International Surveyors Day (ISD), celebrated globally each March, provides a powerful moment to honor this legacy while inspiring the next generation of geospatial professionals.
Global Surveyors Day
While often used interchangeably with Global Surveyors Day, ISD has emerged with a distinct identity—particularly in Africa, the Caribbean, Asia, and Latin America—as a dynamic platform for promoting spatial equity, digital transformation, and sustainable development. Though lacking a singular founding body, ISD has been adopted by regional institutions and national associations such as CARICOM, AU-GGIM, OECS, and academic alliances across the Global South.
