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.
Sponsorship & Display Opportunities: Limited sponsorship and display table slots are available. For more information, please contact Clare Kettle.

David Bartlett, Cambridge Wireless SIG Champion
Strategic Business Development Manager, Resilient Timing, , National Physical Laboratory
Professor of Positioning and Navigation, University College London (UCL)
Until recently, David worked in the positioning technology (R&D) group at u-blox with a focus on hybrid positioning: bringing together GNSS with terrestrial systems such as UWB and V2X, primarily in support of future autonomous vehicle, driverless car and robotics applications but also for IoT and indoor positioning. Prior to this he was CTO and co-founder of Omnisense delivering high precision indoor IoT tracking solutions. He also worked at Cambridge Positioning systems with a focus on cellular positioning and network aided GNSS techniques.

Dr Ramsey Faragher is the Founder, and former President and CTO of Focal Point Positioning, a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation, and a Fellow of Queens' College, at the University of Cambridge. He is the inventor of the Supercorrelation digital signal processing technique, which has redefined the state of the art in GPS positioning. He is the author of dozens of patents, and has been the recipient of numerous awards within the positioning and navigation ecosystem. His company is pioneering improvements to smartphone and automotive navigation systems, and in the past during his time in the Defence sector he has developed technologies that have been to the bottom of the ocean and all the way to Mars. He also helped to improve the bluetooth tracking capabilities of various globally-deployed contact tracing technologies during the Covid pandemic. He regularly contributes to technology podcasts, writes for Forbes, and has provided science advice for two television production companies. Ramsey lives with his family in Cambridge and is currently navigating the challenging landscape of having three small and adventurous children.

Paul Groves is Professor of Positioning and Navigation. He specialises in robust positioning and navigation techniques for challenging environments. These are a key enabler for many different engineering problems. He is interested in all navigation and positioning technologies, including global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), inertial sensors and environmental feature matching. Particular focuses include exploring novel positioning techniques, developing reliable urban positioning and integrating complex sensor combinations in multiple contexts. He is also author of the ~800-page book Principles of GNSS, Inertial, and Multisensor Integrated Navigation Systems (Artech House, 2008 and 2013).
Paul joined UCL's Space Geodesy and Navigation Laboratory (SGNL) in 2009 after 12 years at DERA and QinetiQ. He is an inventor of the GNSS shadow-matching technique and other approaches to 3D-mapping-aided GNSS. He has contributed to innovations in terrain-referenced navigation, visual navigation, positioning using Wi-Fi signals and AM radio broadcasts, heterogeneous feature-matching, detection of GNSS NLOS reception and multipath interference, and context-adaptive navigation. Paul is a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation (RIN), a member of the Institute of Navigation (ION), a Chartered Physicist. He is the recipient of the 2016 ION Thurlow Award and the 2024 RIN harold Spencer Jones Medal.
