The BMI team was thrilled to attend the 2025 CSU Fresno Geomatics Conference, held this January. As a premier event for land surveying professionals in California, the conference was hosted by Fresno State’s Geomatics Engineering Club and brought together industry leaders, professionals, and students.
BMI presented its robust digital archive of historic land records, spanning 39 counties in California and select counties in Arizona and Nevada. These archives empower professionals to improve efficiency and significantly reduce the time required for property research.
“The CSU Fresno Geomatics Conference gives us a unique opportunity to connect with the surveying community and highlight how our solutions can simplify their processes,” said Mike Aufranc, BMI Vice President and Sales Representative. “By digitizing historic land records and providing access to our databases, we’re not just preserving valuable data—we’re enabling surveyors to access critical information quickly and efficiently, which directly impacts their productivity and ability to do their job well.”
Attending the 2025 conference reinforced BMI’s commitment to providing digital solutions that address the needs of land surveyors and professionals and gives us the opportunity to help clients both old and new.
