NGS Hosts NSRS Modernization Industry Workshop

May 21, 2021

NGS hosted 30 representatives from leading global survey equipment manufacturers and geospatial software developers for the virtual 2021 National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) Modernization Industry Workshop. This workshop is part of the NGS strategy to engage the geospatial community to enable a smooth transition to the modernized NSRS and ensure that NGS’s constituents are prepared to reap the full benefits of the new system. Improving the agency’s relationship with industry partners is key to realizing the true value of the modernized, time-dependent spatial reference system and supports sharing geospatial data to track changes over time. By working with the vendors who build the tools used by geospatial professionals, we can harness the power of crowd-sourced data collection while still maintaining our robust standards and quality control efforts.
