We are pleased to invite you the XIIth International exhibition and scientific forum “Interexpo GEO-Siberia-2016” organized by the Siberian State University of Geosystems and Technologies and ExpoGeo LLC

This event provides a platform for professionals and participants from both foreign countries and Russia to deliberate and demonstrate the use and efficiency of geospatial and surveying technologies for sustainable environmental management, to exchange experiences on current problems in geodesy, cartography, geo information, cadastre, land management, photogrammetry, Earth remote sensing, environmental monitoring, GNSS/GLONASS, laser scanning and LiDAR technologies, 3D modelling, emergency, disaster and crises early warning and management as well as to update existing or develop new education and training programs.

The International Conference on Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management aims at creating a meeting point of researchers and practitioners that address new challenges in geo-spatial data sensing, observation, representation, processing, visualization, sharing and managing, in all aspects concerning both information communication and technologies (ICT) as well as management information systems and knowledge-based systems. The conference welcomes original papers of either practical or theoretical nature, presenting research or applications, of specialized or interdisciplinary nature, addressing any aspect of geographic information systems and technologies.

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
