Get Kids Into Survey
Diamondback Land Surveying
Diamondback Land Surveying
Get Kids into Survey began in 2017 with the creation of the first GKiS poster – a fun resource for the survey community to share with their children in order to help them understand what their parents did at work.
The response from industry members was so overwhelmingly encouraging that, just two years later, they have a whole range of survey posters in production, and we have distributed over 40,000 copies globally! As the Get Kids into Survey community expands through its network of sponsors and Brand Ambassadors, the project will grow to include full programs for educators, scholarship schemes, and a raft of resources that will inspire the next generation of surveyors. As part of their continuing mission to secure the future of the survey industry.

Welcome to the New and Improved Land Surveyors United Network. Our social support network community welcomes all geospatial professionals, land surveyors, surveying students and professors of surveying around the globe. We encourage storytellers to share their experiences in land surveying with the network so that those new to the industry can learn from best practices, tips and tricks and lessons learned. Through exploring our network, you'll find that since 2007, together we have transcended communication barriers which have historically segregated surveyors geographically, in language and by level of experience. We are unifying the industry and building a community by which the everyday surveyor on earth can find targeted support, build their reputation online, increase productivity and have a little fun too. Get involved and share your experiences in land surveying with your fellow surveyors around the world!
