Fun 5-minute feedback survey
  
To get information and feedback on participant demographics and preferences, and to improve and serve your needs better, we are conducting a fun 4-minute on-line survey on Geomatics Indaba 2016 and the associated GI 2016 Field Training Day.
 
 
We urge all those that attended, exhibited, presented and participated, including exhibition-only viewers, to complete the quick-and-easy online survey, as this will provide important information enabling your voice to be heard, and to ensure we improve to further meet you needs. 
 
For meaningful and statistically valid results, it is very important to get a high response to the online survey by attendees and participants.
 
The survey results will be published for open access online within a week, in the form of a high-quality feedback report, with comprehensive figures, statistics and graphs.
 
There are also great prizes for 3 lucky respondents to this survey! 
  • 10th respondent: Warm winter jacket sponsored by Topcon
