The overall theme of the Working Week is "
theme addresses the changes in current world and the importance of cultures and
understanding the differences in different parts of the world including professional
development, traditions and legislation at the same time when the world is more harmonised
with common standards and global markets. These issues face also the surveying profession
in all its fields. Marrakech and Morocco as cross roads of cultures for centuries is a perfect
venue to focus on this topic. The Working Week will bring surveyors and land professionals
from all over the world together to meet while specific focus will be given to the Arabic
countries and the Francophone Africa.


The opening ceremony and three plenary sessions will address key issues of the surveying
profession including latest development in surveying technology, land administration and
land tenure, geospatial information, urbanisation and sustainable cities and their relations to
cultural and regional diversity. On Friday morning the plenary session will at the same time
be the General Assembly of ONIGT addressing key issues in Morocco such as environment
and sustainable development. This session offers a showcase of Moroccan and international
experiences for all Working Week participants.
The technical programme will include a broad professional and scientific programme with
eight slots each offering from 8 up to 10 parallel sessions and workshops. With flash
presentations the programme offers more than 400 presentations in a three-day technical
programme.
The technical programme will offer specially invited high profile presentations and papers
