Episode 263 - Anna Rios, LS & Amanda Allred, LS with Women Surveyors Summit
In this inspiring episode of The Geoholics Podcast, Kent is joined by special guests Anna Rios and Amanda Allred to shine a spotlight on the Future Surveyors Foundation and the upcoming Women Surveyors Summit (WSS) 2025 in Las Vegas.
The show kicks off with Geoholics news and happenings—INTERGEO, Trimble Dimensions, and, of course, the highly anticipated Women Surveyors Summit in October. Powered by EMLID and supported by our incredible sponsors, this episode blends industry updates with thought-provoking dialogue about the future of surveying.
The guests share the origin story and mission of the Future Surveyors Foundation—creating opportunity, inspiration, and support for a diverse geospatial workforce. Listeners get an inside look at programs like PRISM+ALLIES, the Women Surveyors Summit, and mentorship partnerships designed to strengthen the profession while opening doors for underrepresented groups
We dive deep into the philosophy behind the Summit—“for women, by women”—and what that means for event design and delivery. From continuing education tracks to ethics sessions, the 2025 edition promises fresh opportunities for growth, networking, and empowerment. The conversation highlights why Las Vegas was chosen as the host city and teases some standout program elements happening October 23–26, 2025
The Foundation also proudly announces the Geoholics Scholarship winners—Isabella Totra & Iris Saldana—future leaders carrying the torch for the next generation of surveyors
As always, we add a cultural twist with our Song of the Week: Tim McGraw’s “Humble & Kind”—a reminder of the values that guide both our personal lives and professional journeys
Listeners also catch the latest GEODNET count update, proving that satellites, crypto, and surveying are more connected than ever.
The episode closes with a powerful challenge: what can you do to inspire and support the next generation of surveyors? Whether it’s attending the Summit, mentoring, or sponsoring initiatives, the message is clear—change starts with community and commitment.
