Geomatics Expo 2020
This year marks the 22nd annual Geomatics Exposition hosted by the Geomatics Engineering Students’ Society (GESS). The Geomatics Exposition is one of the biggest events hosted by GESS that provides an opportunity for geomatics companies to interact with and inspire the next generation of geomatics engineers by showing them all of the various career opportunities that they can pursue. The objective of the Geomatics Exposition is to have individuals from various companies talk to undergraduate students/alumni and build valuable connections with people in industry. The exposition is an all day event that ends with a reception event for the companies and students. During the day, the companies are set up in a specific location and throughout the day undergraduate students and alumni have a chance to talk to people in the geomatics industry and companies can present the exciting projects that they are working on in information sessions. Companies can also host interviews at the exposition if they are looking for interns. The Geomatics Exposition is 100% planned and run by students. All proceeds from the exposition goes towards the Geomatics Engineering Student’s Society to be used for future expositions or for other activities hosted by GESS.
