INTERGEO 2010

INTERGEO is the world’s largest event and communication platform for geodesy, geoinformation and land management. It is the only event of its kind that covers the complete range of current and forward-looking products, technologies and system solutions in their entire breadth and depth. The trade fair and conference cover all the key trends that crop up along the entire value-added chain – from geo-based information surveys and data processing to integrated applications. As a result, it is the industry's largest and most important gathering.

Topical, informative and with a wide-ranging outlook, the three-day programme of the INTERGEO Conference from 5 to 7 October 2010 is geared towards scientific and practical requirements alike.

Some 1,400 participants are expected to meet in Cologne to share their views and discuss opinions. Geo specialists will be using this opportunity to quench their thirst for knowledge and demonstrate their expertise in over 100 presentations focusing on the motto “Knowledge and Action for Planet Earth”.

The main conference language is German.

The conference involves especial and innovate presentations in parallel sessions. In addition, the Geodetic Week informs competently about current research topics.

New is that each conference day starts with a keynote speech. This speech considers basic aspects of the GIS world and lead in the main topic of the day.

Innovation and information

The range of exhibits covers all aspects of surveying, GIS, Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry as well as Complementary Solutions and general Technologies. Furthermore INTERGEO is a perfect presentation platform for rapidly growing innovative fields. The providers of those future technologies showcase their product and service portfolio in the OSGeo Park as well as in the Innovation Park for Start Ups.
It is also a platform for the very latest pioneering developments:

• the success of sensors that use complex systems to simplify data capture
• street cars for 3D recording of neighbourhoods - initial new or advanced application developments are expected in 2010
• 3D applications
• satellites/positioning services
• the trend towards geo web solutions, particularly important in the context of INSPIRE
  

With new industry key topics, the Trend and Media Forum presents the latest requirements and solutions from geo-related industry sectors. Trend Notes, product presentations and live demonstrations provide a platform for innovations and future market developments and underline the unique dimensions of INTERGEO:
