The Institute of Navigation’s (ION) mid-year meeting, the International Technical Meeting (ITM), is a conference with a technical program related to positioning, navigation and timing and includes the ION Fellows and Annual Awards presentations.

In 2024, ITM will take place in Long Beach, California, January 22 – 25, 2024, and will be co-located with the Precise Time and Time Interval Systems and Applications Meeting.

A commercial exhibition and pre-conference tutorials will be held in conjunction with the conference.

The Institute of Navigation’s (ION) annual Precise Time and Time Interval Systems and Applications (PTTI) meeting will take place in Long Beach, California, January 22-25, 2024, and will be co-located with the ION International Technical Meeting.

The PTTI technical program is designed to:

• Disseminate and coordinate PTTI information at the user level
• Review present and future PTTI requirements
• Inform government and industry engineers, technicians, and managers of precise time and frequency technology and its problems, and
• Provide an opportunity for an active exchange of new technology associated with PTTI.

A commercial exhibition and pre-conference tutorials will be held in conjunction with the conference.

The IGNSS Association’s biennial international GNSS conference will return to UNSW Sydney from 7 to 9 February, 2024, where it will celebrate the first half-century of GNSS and look ahead to the next 50 years.

IGNSS 2024 will bring together experts, policy makers and emerging leaders from across the globe to examine the latest advances, present cutting edge research and discuss policy, market development and infrastructure.

The conference will also showcase Australia and New Zealand’s Southern Positioning Augmentation Network (SouthPAN), along with developments by other countries across the Asia-Pacific.

Topics to be covered at the conference will include:

• Autonomy on land, air, sea and in space
• Aviation and avionics
• Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems
• Machine guidance applications in agriculture, construction and mining
• Maritime applications
• Uncrewed aerial systems
• Space applications of PNT in Earth orbit and for lunar and Martian exploration
• Positioning infrastructure
• GNSS vulnerability, resilience and risk
• Interference detection and mitigation
• Policies and standards
• SBAS and other augmentations
• Datums and geodesy
• National and international GNSS developments
• Emerging application areas for GNSS
• Key industries and their reliance on GNSS
• The multi-GNSS era
• Cyber security in PNT applications and infrastructure
• Alternative PNT
• State of the art in PNT algorithms and software development
• GNSS aiding and sensor fusion
• Positioning in GNSS denied environments
• Development of GNSS receiver hardware and firmware
• Precise position using smartphones

The organisers are encouraging early career researchers and industry representatives to present their work. The abstract submission process will open soon — keep an eye on the IGNSS website for announcements.

Geo Week is an event for increased integration between the built environment, advanced airborne/terrestrial technologies, and commercial 3D technologies. It was created as a response to the changing needs of built world and geospatial professionals, and to acknowledge the convergence of technology taking place currently.

New technological innovations, the need for remote workflows, and hardware breakthroughs are redefining expectations across teams, organisations, and entire industries will canvassed at the event.

Attendees will hear about the latest updates, case studies, ideas and predictions from a variety of experts: innovators, end-users, regulators, and more. What trends and technologies do they see coming? What new challenges and opportunities lie ahead? How can you and your organisation prepare, anticipate, and benefit in a rapidly evolving environment?

The Institution of Surveyors NSW (ISNSW) 2024 Annual Conference will be held over two days in February in the picturesque Blue Mountains, NSW.

Presented as a hybrid event, attendees will have the choice to join online or in person. Speakers will present on a wide range of topics, giving delegates the chance to hear from the industry’s best and network with them.

The event is open to ISNSW members as well as non-members.

The Remote Hydrography conference and exhibition brings together manufacturers, operators, regulators, and research and development leaders from both industry and academia, within the field of remote surveying and uncrewed survey operations.

Remote Hydrography 2024 provides an opportunity to share experience gained in the development and application of autonomous and uncrewed platforms (surface, underwater, aerial and space-based) and the associated command and support services.

These and enabling technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence will revolutionise workflows for hydrographic data collection, processing, analysis and presentation.

The annual Geo Connect Asia Show & Conferences offers a two day, in-person meeting place for ASEAN’s vibrant geospatial community. Bringing geospatial solutions to the heart of decision-making the event combines with technologies from the digital construction, drone and remote sensing markets.

Geo Connect Asia looks to host its ASEAN neighbours and build on a vibrant community as new technologies add new application tools to enable the Industry 4.0 Revolution. The emergence of AI, blockchain, IoT, robotics and UAVs create a new dynamic and platforms for a region well equipped to take on the challenges ahead.
