NGS Announces Virtual 2021 Geospatial Summit


Febraruy 12, 2021


NGS announced that its 2021 Geospatial Summit will be held online May 4-5. The Summit will provide updated information about the planned modernization of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). NSRS modernization will impact federal mapping agencies, engineers, surveyors, and many other geospatial applications and user groups. This Summit will continue discussions from previous Geospatial Summits held in 2010, 2015, 2017, and 2019. Topics covered at the summit will include progress in and benefits of modernizing the NSRS, and how the datum transition will impact work. Participants can also ask questions of NGS experts and share feedback about the planned changes. The event is open to the public and registration is free.
