GEOINT 2016 takes place May 15-18 at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.

Hosted and produced by the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF), a 501c3 non-profit, non-lobbying educational organization, the annual GEOINT Symposium is the nation’s largest gathering of industry, academia, and government from across the Defense, Intelligence and Homeland Security Communities.

Geospatial World Forum 2016 is scheduled on 23-26 May 2016 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. With the theme Where’s the Money? [Disruptive Business Models], the conference aims to take on the business perspective of geospatial industry today and its direction for the coming years. 

Geospatial World Forum 2015, which was jointly-organised with the INSPIRE conference, received over 1700 delegates including 300+ speakers, hosted 35 thematic sessions and 46 workshops over the course of 5 days.

The call for papers and workshop proposals closes on 30 November 2015. To submit an abstract, go to www.geospatialworldforum.org 

GEO Business is shaping up to be one of the most important shows in the geospatial calendar, with 3000 international visitors expected to attend. Registration is now open and visitors are set to descent upon the Business Design Centre in London in May.

From humble beginnings as a UK centric show, GEO Business has won the support of an international audience and will cement its position as the industry’s premier event as it builds on the remarkable success of the previous two years. For the first time since its launch show, the event will be held outside of UK and international holiday periods, which has been welcomed by both exhibitors and visitors.

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
