Roundtable – NSRS Modernization and Professional Societies

Feb 18 2026

10:30 AM - 12:00 PM MT

Bluebird Ballroom 2A

Join this session for a short introduction to geospatial professional societies, to hear how each organization is preparing its members for NSRS Modernization, and how the organizations are collaborating with one another and the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) to foster a smooth transition to the Modernized NSRS. This roundtable session will go from discussion to action with a hand-on self assessment exercise led by ASPRS and NSPS NSRS Modernization Working Groups to discuss specific geospatial data, metadata, workflows, accuracy requirements and potential pathway to adoption and transition.

Session will be opened with an introduction from Rachael Dempsey, National Ocean Service Deputy Assistant Administrator for Navigation, Observations, and Positioning.
