The annual FIG Director Generals Forum brings together Chief Executives or Director Generals of national (or provincial) agencies and FIG Affiliate Members that have responsibility over mapping, cadastre, valuation, planning and development, land administration and management from around the world. The Forum allows peer-to-peer engagement to address the present challenges and opportunities, including the responsibility of national agencies to stay relevant and effective.

This year’s Director Generals Forum will be contested by the new FIG-Task Force on “The Role of FIG in International Trends and Future Geospatial Information Ecosystem”. Members of the Task Force will provide background information, followed by a moderated panel discussion, which aims to seek opinions and input from the attending Director Generals
