GEO Business 2019
21 – 22 May 2019
Business Design Centre, London, UK

GEO Business is the largest geospatial event in the UK attracting over 2500 visitors from more than 50 countries. Incorporating an international trade exhibition, a strategic conference, cutting edge seminars, a programme of live commercial workshops and a popular programme of social events, GEO Business is designed for everyone involved in the gathering, storing, processing and delivery of geospatial information.

Organised in collaboration with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (ICES), The Survey Association (TSA), the Association for Geographic Information (AGI) and the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).

Hosted by Eric Andelin CP, Senior Workflow Specialist with guest speaker Michael O’Sullivan, VP Sales, SimActive Inc.

It is often challenging for new entrants into the aerial imagery and mapping service profession to determine cost savings when it comes to their processing software solution. Smaller sensors, altitude restrictions, line of sight requirements and overall flight duration create unique challenges for drone operators. Medium and large format sensors acquire much larger areas, but require a much larger investment, or the ability to subcontract out the acquisition. Mapping expenses tend to increase as projects become larger. And using the wrong image processing software can exacerbate this, leading to narrowing project profits. This webinar will show how a higher-end software such as SimActive’s Correlator3D™ can reduce overall project costs. REGISTER HERE.

Specifically, attendees will learn about the following:

• Common challenges and impact on costs
• Cost variations as projects increase in size
• Workflows in Correlator3D to minimize man-hours
• Accelerating timelines with distributed processing

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?
