The FIG Working Week is in Accra, Ghana 19-24 May. Reconnecting with friends is an important part of conferences like FIG. I was able to reunite with the Trimble Middle East and Africa team and Optron our longtime partner on the continent. Optron has been a partner since 1987 and is an extension of Trimble where they provide superior technical service and support on the continent . Thank you to Munnawar and Dennis from the Trimble team and Shayne and Gilbert (not pictured volunteered to be photographer) from Optron. This team travels throughout the continent to support and service our customers - thank you for your dedication and your commitment to the customer.
