Opening Plenary and Keynotes: ION GNSS+ 2024 plenary session will feature keynotes from Dr. Oscar Pozzobon, Qascom, who will be presenting “Direction Moon: A Journey of our Satellite Navigation System to the Edge of its Limits” and a presentation of “Circumnavigation the Globe” from Kirsten Neuschäfer (invited), winner of the 2022 Golden Globe Race, from France, around the three great capes, and back to France, non-stop, single-handed, unassisted without modern electronics (no GNSS!). She is the first woman to win that race since it started in 1968; also, the first woman to win any round the world race, including solo and fully crewed races, non-stop or with stops.

Technical Program: ION GNSS+ 2024 technical program will feature more than 300 technical presentations across six tracks in Commercial and Policy, and Research. In addition to the traditional technical presentations, the conference will also host six moderated panel discussions featuring international civilian policy makers, and technical experts. These moderated panel discussions will offer participants the opportunity to interact with the panelists in a collaborative learning environment.

The 2023 event is organized as a regular physical event in Castellon, Spain.

Conference scope

Reliable navigation and positioning are becoming essential in applications for IoT in industry and logistic applications, in smart city environments, for safety-critical purposes, in public services and consumer products to guarantee transparent, efficient and reliable workflows. A robust localization solution, which will be available continuously is needed regardless outdoor and indoor, and on different platforms. ICL-GNSS addresses the latest research on wireless and satellite-based positioning techniques to provide reliable and accurate position information with low latency. The emphasis is on the design of mass-market navigation receivers and related tools and methodologies, but also many kinds of sensing devices, wireless systems with localization capabilities, and location-aware applications are within the scope of ICL-GNSS.
