Two of the Institute of Navigation’s (ION’s) conferences — the International Technical Meeting (ITM) and the Precise Time and Time Interval (PTTI) Meeting — will be co-located for 2016. One registration fee gives attendees access to both technical events and a commercial exhibit. The co-located conferences will take place Jan. 25-28, 2016, at the Hyatt Regency Monterey in Monterey, Calif.

Abstracts are due Oct. 2, 2015. Submission requirements have changed, and depend on the session the abstract is submitted for. Review the call for abstracts for more information.

This year’s joint ITM/PTTI Plenary Session is “Autonomous Vehicles – Beyond the Navigation Technology.” The session will address issues outside of navigation technology, including legal issues, regulatory challenges, transitional periods, markets enabled by autonomous operation and similar topics beyond the core navigation technology.

ITM is ION’s winter meeting, which features peer-reviewed technical papers related to positioning, navigation and timing, and includes the ION Fellows and Annual Awards presentations.

PTTI is the annual technical conference designed to disseminate and coordinate PTTI information at the user level, review present and future PTTI requirements, inform government and industry engineers, technicians and managers regarding precise time and frequency technology and its problems, and provide an opportunity for an active exchange of new technology associated with PTTI.

The co-located 2016 ITM and PTTI meetings will feature a technical exhibit and showcase of products and services related to positioning, navigation and timing. For more information on exhibiting, contact ION or go to www.ion.org.
