Indoor Positioning: Where are we?

Join the Location SIG for a one day event focused on indoor navigation, to feature expert-led talks and a rapid-fire series of “bullet presentations” that spotlight innovative solutions and real-world applications.

Unlike outdoors, where GPS has dominated the positioning market, the challenges of the noisy indoor environment and a large number of diverse use cases have led to a shared technological space. The need for high availability and accuracy usually needs to be traded off with the need for detailed surveys, floorplans, or expensive infrastructure deployment.

Join us for a one day event focused on indoor navigation, to feature expert-led talks and a rapid-fire series of “bullet presentations” that spotlight innovative solutions and real-world applications. Whether you're developing, deploying, or simply curious about indoor positioning, this event promises to inform, inspire, and connect.

This event is kindly hosted in the beautiful Queens College, University of Cambridge.

Short Speaking Slots: We have a series of short elevators style pitches available to showcase relevant tech. Talks are 2 minutes in length, and are open to all, but priority will be given to CW & RIN members. If interested please email Clare Kettle


Employees of Cambridge Wireless member organisations can attend for free 

Members of the Royal Insitute of Navigation and those working for a UK University can attend this event for free, to claim your free delegate place please email Clare Kettle

Tickets for non-members are £50 plus VAT.
