The PLANS conference is a four day conference with 1 day dedicated to tutorials and three days to technical sessions.The tutorials provide attendees with the opportunity to learn about navigation technology from well-known industry experts. A variety of tutorials are offered to serve the professional needs of both newcomers and those well versed in the field of navigation. This year’s tutorials include a wide range of navigation subjects from core navigation fundamentals to in-depth classes about the latest technologies.Twenty-four half-day technical sessions are offered over a three day period, with four sessions running simultaneously each morning and afternoon. At the technical sessions scientists, researchers and engineers from around the world present their latest work in the field of navigation. The presentations range from fundamental research, to applications, to field test results. The topics include sensors, systems, optimal integration of multiple sensors, and novel or emerging technologies used in the field of navigation.In parallel with the sessions we host a technical exhibit at which navigation equipment component and system suppliers show their current products and most recent technical innovations. You can expect to see the latest, most innovative navigation products and services from top navigation companies, highlighted in the exhibit hall.The mission of PLANS, to provide a forum for public and private enterprises or organizations from around the world to share the latest advances in navigation technology, is embodied in its logo of the stylized sextant and migratory bird.
