The main goal of the project is to inform a wide audience in Russia and abroad about satellite navigation innovations. The participants will be given detailed information on cellular network positioning services and technologies, on various industrial applications and subscriber equipment developed by leading Russian and foreign companies and on the experience of the top Russian companies. The Forum will put special emphasis on the Russian GLONASS navigation system and various aspects of its use in Russia.

The Forum will allow a wide range of issues concerning application of navigation services in Russia and abroad to be addressed, namely:

• GLONASS, GPS and GALILEO; status and prospects
• The current situation and outlook with respect to the satellite and mobile positioning market;
• Legal aspects of the use of satellite navigation systems in Russia;
• New and highly remunerative types of business involving satellite navigation technologies;
• Positive experience of leading Russian and foreign companies using satellite navigation for their business needs

The Forum is focusing on commercial applications of satellite navigation technologies such as GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, etc all, related national and international policies and practices, future development of satellite navigation programs worldwide as well as discusses applications of satellite navigation versus terrestrial location based services.
