For the 3-day-conference we expect participants from around the world and from different backgrounds.

There are many different approaches and interpretations on what a “Smart City” really is or should be – some focus purely on technology, others more on resource optimization and/or on social aspects, and there is no doubt that there is big business for many companies.

At CORP2016 we will deal with multiple aspects of the question on

How to become and how to remain a “Smart City”?

As cities are the places where people live together, it is also essential to ask: Do “Smart Cities” improve quality of life?

If you consider to give a presentation: Call for papers is still open until 15 February 2016 via www.corp.at

Proceedings will be published prior to the conference on CD-ROM (with ISBN-number) and also made available online – like all the CORP-papers so far.

We offer a peer review process for scientific papers, but also non-reviewed papers can be presented – see timetable here: http://conference.corp.at/index.php?id=75

Boost your skills by attending a preconference seminar, technical workshop, paper session or demo theater presentation. Meet others in Special Interest Group and solution provider meetings. Learn something new at the Map Gallery. Do yoga. Run a 5K. Attend a party. There’s even a kids fair for those next generation geographers! This is your front row seat to learn the next big thing in GIS. Don’t miss it!

GI_Forum 2016 provides a platform for dialogue among geospatial minds in an ongoing effort to support the creation of an informed GeoInformation Society. Bearing in mind different perspectives from a variety of professions, presentations as well as workshops and exhibitions will concentrate on innovations in education, science and technologies.

The spatial sciences today contribute significantly to a more just, ethical and sustainable society. Prominent keynote speakers will highlight new developments, offer insights into trends and visions, and at the same time be individually accessible for our Young Researchers.

Das AGIT Symposium und die darin integrierte AGIT EXPO sind von 6. – 8. Juli 2016 der Treffpunkt für Angewandte Geoinformatik: unser Anspruch ist es, der GI Community eine Bühne für den Austausch von Trends und Themen zu bieten. open:spatial:interfaces steht als Motto für eine sich immer weiter öffnende, interdisziplinäre Domäne Geoinformatik, deren technisches und methodisches Portfolio unseren fachlichen Perspektiven nahezu keine Grenzen setzt.

Die AGIT ist die Plattform für hochwertige Fachvorträge, praxisnahe Workshops, Themenschwerpunkte und Fachtagungen  – Ihre Meinung sollte dabei nicht fehlen: Nutzen Sie die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten zur Beitragseinreichung – und insbesondere unser neues Publikationsmedium, das AGIT Journal.

In diesem Sinn freuen wir uns auf Ihren Besuch bei der AGIT in Salzburg!

ISPRS is a leading organization in remote sensing, photogrammetry and spatial information sciences – very high-resolution satellite imagery, terrain based imaging and participatory sensing, inexpensive platforms, and advanced information and communications technologies.

Every 4 years the Congress welcomes participants from all over the world. This gathering strengthens relations among the researchers, professionals and representatives of governmental and non-governmental organization thus enhancing the co-operation within the field. ISPRS welcomes all papers bringing new results, achievements, methods and theory to help to shift the present level of knowledge.

All interested organizations are welcome to participate at the Congress as exhibitors. Profit from the opportunity to present your products and services to the leaders in the field.

The program structure is split into several session types: Technical Sessions, Theme Sessions, Special sessions, Plenary Meetings, Exhibitor’s Showcase Sessions and Commercial Sessions.

For 30 years, the Small Satellite Conference has been a place where innovators, engineers, problem solvers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and dreamers alike have come together to challenge what we know and push the bounds of what can be done. These pioneers have created a space industry where small satellites make big contributions.

Each year, SmallSat attendees share their successes and lessons learned, demonstrate capabilities, network, and mentor the next generation. These crucial interactions have ignited imaginations, paving the way for small satellites to perform missions that few thought possible. The 30th Annual Small Satellite Conference will celebrate the industry’s tremendous achievements, while continuing to inspire ingenuity for future military, civilian, and commercial missions.

After an impressive debut (2,797 delegates from 48 nations and rave reviews) InterDrone returns to Las Vegas Sept. 7-9 in a premier location:  The Paris Las Vegas Hotel. It will feature 120 sessions for engineers, software developers, executives, investors, regulators and commercial drone “buyers and flyers” in more than a dozen vertical market segments. 4,000+ attendees from 6 continents and 125+ exhibitors.

The World Information Technology Forum (WITFOR) was initiated by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and has been organized by IFIP periodically since 2003 in cooperation with several stakeholders in the host country. So far WITFOR has been held in Lithuania, in 2003; in Botswana, in 2005; in Ethiopia in 2007; in Vietnam in 2009 and in India, in 2012. WITFOR brings together senior policy-makers, academics, NGOs and GOs representatives, ICT experts, and the private ICT sector.

WITFOR 2016 intends to bring together members of the ICT community from governments, academia, industry and associations, to discuss recent proposals aimed to reach the sustainable development goals, promoted by the United Nations, to improve global conditions by reducing poverty and hunger; achieving universal education; promoting gender equality; ensuring environmental sustainability; combating diseases and reducing mortality.
