The Positioning, Navigation and Timing 2026 (PNT2026) conference will be held at Sydney’s Royal Randwick Racecourse from 4 to 6 February next year.
Formerly known as the IGNSS Conference, PNT2026 will bring together local and global experts from industry, government, defence and academia to showcase and discuss the latest advancements in GNSS and alternative PNT technologies.
Key industry challenges will be on the agenda, as will applications across the aerospace, defence, smart city, autonomous systems and critical infrastructure sectors, and others.
This will be the first event of its kind since the International GNSS Association (IGNSS) merged with the Australian Institute of Navigation.
PNT2026 will be a forum for discussing key topics, such as:
- Core GNSS and PNT technologies: Satellite navigation, augmentation services and sensor integration;
- Resilient navigation and security: Interference mitigation, cyber threats and authentication;
- Emerging PNT solutions: Alternative navigation, quantum-enabled positioning and multi-sensor fusion; and
- Industry and policy insights: Future trends, regulatory challenges and national security applications.
Along with the technical presentations, keynote speeches and panel discussions, there will be an exhibition space showcasing cutting-edge PNT technology from local and overseas vendors.
