Every year, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Nigerian Institution of Surveyors (NIS) brings together some of the brightest minds in the surveying and geospatial industry. For professionals, students, equipment suppliers, and industry stakeholders, it is more than just a conference, it is an opportunity to learn, network, discover new technologies, and shape the future of the profession.
This year's AGM in Kano promises to be one of the most exciting editions yet.
As surveying continues to evolve with advancements in GNSS technology, drones, GIS, remote sensing, and digital mapping solutions, events like the NIS AGM have become increasingly important for professionals who want to stay ahead of industry trends.
A Unique Opportunity to Experience the Latest Survey Equipment
One of the biggest attractions of the AGM is the exhibition section. For many attendees, this is their first opportunity to interact directly with the latest surveying equipment available in Nigeria.
Instead of relying on brochures, videos, or online reviews, visitors can physically inspect equipment, ask technical questions, compare specifications, and receive live demonstrations from industry experts.
Equipment commonly showcased at the AGM includes:
- GNSS Receivers
- Total Stations
- Surveying Drones
- Controllers and Data Collectors
- CORS Solutions
- Surveying Accessories
- GIS and Mapping Software
- Laser Measurement Equipment
This hands-on experience helps professionals make informed decisions before investing in new technology.
Why You Should Visit the OTIC Geosystems Booth at NIS AGM Kano 2026
If you're attending the NIS AGM in Kano this year, make sure the OTIC Geosystems booth is on your list of must-visit stops.
Beyond showcasing the latest GNSS receivers, total stations, surveying drones, controllers, accessories, and geospatial software solutions, we're bringing opportunities that could directly impact your surveying career.
- Get Our Adjustable Pole at a Special AGM Price
One of the highlights at our booth will be our highly sought-after adjustable pole. Normally sold for ₦90,000, AGM attendees will be able to purchase it for just ₦60,000. That's a savings of ₦30,000 available exclusively during the event. If you've been planning to upgrade your field equipment, this is the perfect opportunity to do so.
- Join the "A Rover for Every Surveyor in Nigeria" Movement
We believe every surveyor deserves access to modern surveying technology.
Unfortunately, many talented professionals are unable to own a GNSS rover because of financial constraints.
That's why OTIC Geosystems will be introducing and discussing our "A Rover for Every Surveyor in Nigeria" movement at the AGM.
The goal is simple: help more surveyors gain convenient access to their own rover without the financial burden that often stands in the way.
If you've always wanted to own a rover but felt the cost was beyond your reach, we encourage you to visit our booth and learn how this initiative could help make rover ownership a reality.
- Meet the Team and Explore the Latest Technology
Our team will be available throughout the event to answer technical questions, provide equipment demonstrations, discuss upgrade options, and help you identify the right solutions for your projects.
Whether you're looking for your first GNSS receiver, considering a drone mapping solution, upgrading your total station, or exploring new geospatial technologies, we're ready to help.
