**This first meetup will be an open conversation for surveyors who are interested in becoming independent or starting their own business.**
Whether you’re completely new to the idea or already working toward it, you’re welcome here.
We’ll talk about:
• Where and how surveyors find their first clients
• What types of work are realistic when you’re just starting out
• What skills or tools you actually need (and what you don’t)
• How people transition from employment to working for themselves
• Common mistakes beginners make — and how to avoid them
• Real stories, real numbers, real experiences from the field
This is NOT a formal seminar — it’s a **friendly, practical discussion**.
Bring a notebook, your ideas, your questions, and an open mind.
**Goal of this meetup:**
To connect surveyors at different stages of their careers and share real-world knowledge that can help all of us move closer to independence, higher income, and building something of our own.
Everyone is welcome — Geomatics Technicians, party chiefs, engineers, new grads, experienced professionals, and anyone curious about entrepreneurship in surveying.
