The 2009 International Global Navigation Satellite Systems Society (IGNSS) conference and trade exhibition will be held at the Holiday Inn Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia from Tuesday December 1 to Thursday December 3, 2009.

The UN International Committee on GNSS Working Group on Compatibility and Interoperability will meet during the conference. So, for the first time in its history, IGNSS will have keynote presentations from all four system providers: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and Compass. There will also be presentations from Japan and India, whose regional systems will cover Australia.

The conference targets those who are looking for a technology update from a hardware or applications point of view, are involved in government policy areas,  or are an end-user looking for a forum to discuss the implementation of GNSS.

The event features interactive forum sessions and discussions with representatives from all the satellite system providers, major hardware manufacturers and application developers.

Presentations will address system status, trends and technologies; receivers and signals; policy issues; applications, products and services; and non-satellite positioning methods.
