The 9th China Satellite Navigation Conference (CSNC) will be held from May 23-25, 2018 at Harbin International Exhibition Center in Harbin, China.
CSNC is supported by 16 national authorities, including China Satellite Navigation Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and Chinese Academy of Sciences. Organized by the Academic Exchange Center of China Satellite Navigation Office, the conference has been successfully held eight times in Beijing, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Nanjing, Xi’an, Changsha and Shanghai (twice). The conference is described as a large, high-level and representative academic exchange conference for satellite navigation systems, and CSNC boasts rich content and bears international influence.
Beginning with the event’s third year, CSNC has held ION-Panel branch meetings in cooperation with the Institute of Navigation (ION). With the Chinese-English simultaneous interpreting service readily accessible, the conference serves as a large platform for exchange of knowledge of international satellite navigation systems. With this platform, officers in response of satellite navigation systems from China, the United States, Russia, Europe and other nations and regions, and more than 2,000 experts and scholars from research institutions and enterprises, as well as other representatives from enterprises will share the latest achievements in the field of satellite navigation.
