Pre-Conference Workshops
Tuesday, Sept. 29 - Wednesday Morning, Sept. 30
Each year, NCAUG strives to provide high-value learning opportunities on popular topics to our members through our Pre-Conference Workshops. Taught by industry experts and peers, these workshops are 4-hour half day classes that offer interactive learning and hands on experience to our attendees. Additionally, attending these workshops supports the NCAUG Annual Scholarship program as a portion of each registration fee goes directly to our scholarship fund.​
​
This year, NCAUG is joining with NCPMA to offer more workshops than ever before with two separate workshop tracts. Full schedule, instructors and topics can be found in the agenda!

Special
Keynote
The Reels Family
As featured in the documentary
Silver Dollar Road
Their story - featured in the documentary Silver Dollar Road - is a powerful reflection on land, legacy, and resilience, and a reminder of how place and history shape our communities. Their experience brings a meaningful perspective on the real-world impact of land records, property boundaries, heir's property, and documentation accuracy. This presentation strongly aligns with the mission of mapping professionals and highlights the human impact behind the systems we manage.
