Organisers

The International Federation of Surveyors is an international, non-government organisation whose purpose is to support international collaboration for the progress of surveying in all fields and applications.

FIG is the premier international organization representing the interests of surveyors worldwide. It is a federation of the national member associations and covers the whole range of professional fields within the global surveying community. It provides an international forum for discussion and development aiming to promote professional practice and standards.

FIG was founded in 1878 in Paris and was known as the Fédération Internationale des Géomètres. This has become anglicized to the International Federation of Surveyors. It is a UN-recognized non-government organization (NGO), representing more than 120 countries throughout the world, and its aim is to ensure that the disciplines of surveying and all who practise them meet the needs of the markets and communities that they serve.

We are the voice of the professional surveying community in the United States of America and its territories. Through its affiliation agreements with the respective state surveying societies, NSPS has a strong constituency base through which it communicates directly with lawmakers, agencies, & regulators at both the national and state level. NSPS monitors and comments on legislation, regulation, & policies that have potential impact on the activities of its members and their clients, and collaborates with a multitude of other organizations within the geospatial community on issues of mutual interest.
NSPS participates and is a member of key geospatial associations and groups including the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG), Pan American Association of Surveying and Topography Professionals (APPAT), Council On Federal Procurement of Architectural and Engineering Services (COFPAES), Coalition of Geospatial Organizations (COGO), International Ethics Coalition (IEC), and International Property Measurement Standards Coalition (IPMS).
NSPS also manages key geospatial certification programs including Certified Survey Technician, Hydrographer Certification, Certified Federal Surveyor, and Certified Floodplain Surveyor.
