UK – GEO Business 2016 @ Business Design Centre
May 24 – May 25 all-day

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.

Germany – REAL CORP2016
Jun 22 – Jun 24 all-day

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

Belgium – Polar and Snow Cover Applications User Requirements Workshop @ Breydel building Auditorium
Jun 23 @ 9:00 am – 5:30 pm

The European Commission, who is responsible for the Copernicus programme, has initiated an action with the objective of gathering user requirements for the Next Generation of the Copernicus Space Component.

 

In this context, a “Polar and Snow Cover Applications User Requirements Workshop” will take place on 23 June 2016 in Brussels.

 

This workshop aims at gathering, examining and consolidating user requirements, and confronting these with major gaps to be potentially addressed by the Next Generation of the Copernicus Space Component (CSC).

 

This is a unique opportunity for the attendees to provide the European Commission with their priorities in terms of data, products and information at large, as a function of their mandates and activities. The workshop is not intended to discuss technical requirements and specifications for satellites and instruments.

 

The audience will be composed of users, service providers, representatives from the scientific community, and Space agencies.

USA – Small Satellite Conference 2016
Aug 6 – Aug 11 all-day

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.
