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
