The California Spatial Reference Center (CSRC) was officially established in 2000. As stated in CSRC Bylaws, the mission remains to “Ensure the availability of accurate, consistent, and timely spatial referencing data for California”.

Through two guiding master plan documents, a rewrite of the state’s Public Resources Code and seven network-deforming earthquakes, the CSRC has delivered on that mission for two and a half decades.

This presentation will describe the collection of data, models, analysis and distribution that is the California Spatial Reference System, leaving time to answer questions and review any specific topics.

May the Fourth is coming — and so is the future of land surveying.

Join Mach9 and Confluence Land Surveying for a live look at how AI-assisted extraction is changing the way survey teams handle mobile mapping projects.

We'll walk through real workflows in Digital Surveyor 2 — from raw point cloud to engineering-ready deliverables — and show what's possible when your tools finally keep up with your team.

Whether you're running a firm, managing production, or just getting started in the field, this one's worth an hour of your evening.

We hope to see you there!
