Seminar Description:

In a wide-ranging keynote address, Michael Geller will reflect on a career spent in the land development industry in Vancouver.  By coincidence, Michael was involved with renovation of the Westin Bayshore and the development of adjacent residential development, and Michael will share some interesting stories about these projects.

Alternative and emerging forms of housing and mixed-use developments will be discussed, and other new innovations which directly impact the surveying industry.  In addition to discussion surveying specific issues, the session will also touch on items of broader interest to surveyors who personally contemplate where they might live next and where their parents and children might live.
