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) Pacific PNT Conference is a global event dedicated to the cooperative development of positioning, navigation and timing technology and applications.
The conference attracts policy and technical leaders from Japan, Singapore, China, South Korea, Australia, the United States and many other countries, who meet to discuss policy updates, receive program status updates and exchange technical information.
The conference will cover a wide range of topics:
- GNSS policy/status
- Polynesian navigation
- Aircraft navigation and surveillance
- Algorithms and methods
- Alternative navigation and signals of opportunity
- Aviation applications of GNSS
- Challenging navigation problems
- Emerging PNT consumer applications
- GNSS-R and GNSS-RO for environmental monitoring
- High-precision GNSS correction and monitoring networks
- Inertial navigation technology and applications
- Interference and spectrum
- Ionosphere monitoring with GNSS
- Natural hazards detection and other remote sensing applications
- Time and frequency distribution
- Space navigation technologies
Substantial discounts are available for early registrations.
The 9th International Colloquium on Scientific and Fundamental Aspects of GNSS will bring together members of the European scientific community and their international partners involved in the use of Galileo and other GNSS in their research.
The colloquium will address several major areas of research:
- Scientific applications in meteorology, geodesy, geodynamics, geophysics, space physics, oceanography, land surface and ecosystem studies.
- Scientific developments in physics with a potential impact on future GNSS, particularly in testing fundamental laws of physics.
- Aspects of metrology such as reference frames, on board and ground clocks, precise orbit determination and time and frequency transfer.
- Scientific aspects of satellite navigation, positioning and its applications.
- Other topics of interest such as big data, IoT, novel disruptive technologies, Cubesats, HAPS, UAVs and autonomous vehicles.
- Systems and technologies for navigation in space.

The Geo Connect Asia Show and Conference has scaled up from its launch in 2020 to become the regional meeting place for the fast expanding geospatial, positioning, digital construction and remote sensing markets.
With the growing application of geospatial based knowhow in decision-making across government, enterprise and non-profit the annual event comprises a show with a mix of thought leadership and technical platforms.
Last year’s event attracted more than 100 leading companies and 2494 visitors. Its co-location with Drones & Uncrewed Asia both presents the global UAV industries, but also addresses the importance of data acquisition and analytics in critical and emerging vertical markets.
Digital Construction Asia adds particular focus on the development of one of the region’s largest industries.
The addition of Marine & Hydro Asia expands the reach into the region’s hydro-marine data markets, which are so critical to the economy and security of Southeast Asia.
The third International Association of Geodesy (IAG) Commission 4 Symposium will bring together scientists, researchers and professionals working in the broad field of positioning and its applications.
The symposium will serve as a platform for discussing research that leverages current and emerging positioning techniques and technologies. It aims to provide both practical and theoretical solutions across a wide range of topics.
Discussions will address both technical and institutional aspects of developing GNSS backup systems, integrated positioning solutions, resilient PNT systems, and emerging LEO-based PNT techniques. The symposium will also explore space weather monitoring and forecasting through both ground-based and space-based geodetic observations. Additionally, the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in geodesy will be examined.
The main topics to be covered include:
- Multi-frequency and multi-constellation GNSS technique
- Terrestrial and satellite-based positioning system development
- Multi-sensor fusion navigation and integrity monitoring
- Emerging positioning technologies, e.g., resilient PNT and LEO-based PNT
- Atmospheric space weather monitoring using geodetic observation techniques
- Applications of geodesy to engineering
- Artificial Intelligence technique for geodesy research
The international PNT 2026 conference will be held at Royal Randwick racecourse in Sydney from 4 to 6 February, 2026. The premier Australasian event dedicated to positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) technologies and research, it is being led by the newly established PNT Sub-Committee of the Australian Institute of Navigation (AIN).
Building on the legacy of the IGNSS conference series, the conference is expected to attract many hundreds of PNT experts from around the world, who will gather to learn about research, policy and applications spanning GNSS, autonomy, resilience, and the next generation of multi-GNSS infrastructure.
Keynote speakers included Lieutenant General Susan Coyle, Chief of Joint Capabilities within the Australian Defence Force, and Professor Zak Kassas, the TRC Endowed Chair in Intelligent Transportation Systems at The Ohio State University.
Early bird registration rates are available until 30 November 2025, with significant discounts on offer. Registration includes:
- Access to all sessions and the exhibition
- Morning and afternoon teas and lunches
- Networking drinks with exhibitors
- The PNT 2026 harbour cruise dinner
- Delegate materials and app access
The event also will include a large exhibition area, for which a limited number of sponsorship and exhibition packages are available.
The Geoscience Australia Distinguished Lecture, “Putting the ‘Geo’ into Geospatial: Shaping the future of Positioning Australia,” will cover future direction of the program, reflecting on its past achievements and how it will meet future positioning demands.
As it moves beyond the establishment phase, the Positioning Australia program will strengthen its capability for continued future relevance. The program builds on opportunities arising from Australia’s geographic location, its technological capabilities, strong partnerships and internationally significant positioning infrastructure.
The adoption of PNT-based technologies is changing requirements for the systems delivering it. There is increasing awareness that society’s increasing reliance on modern technologies brings potential risks from vulnerabilities in PNT systems. This lecture will highlight how Positioning Australia will address these issues, including an often invisible risk: the reliance of PNT systems on a global geodesy supply chain that is increasing vulnerable.
Presented by Dr Martine Woolf, (Branch Head Positioning Australia), Ryan Ruddick (Director GNSS Informatics and infrastructure), Dr Anna Riddell (Director GNSS Analysis), Dr Lisa Hall (Director National Geodesy) and Phil Shears (Director PMO), the lecture will outline how Geoscience Australia aims to continue maximising return on Commonwealth investment in reliable positioning, modernising infrastructure, enhancing access and efficiency, and supporting national resilience and economic growth.
