We invite you to join the international community working on Indoor Positioning and Navigation.

The IPIN international conference, first organised by ETH Zurich in 2010, proved to be the place to be on all matters related to Indoor Positioning and Navigation techniques. Indeed, for its first edition, it gathered more than 450 researchers, system developers, and service providers both from academia and industry. The second edition held in Guimaraes, Portugal, capitalised on the first editions success and was once again the biggest international conference dedicated to indoor positioning.

We invite you to submit your work in one of the following formats: abstract (1 page), poster (up to 2 pages including figures) or demonstration. Upon review by the Program Committee, authors of the accepted abstracts will be invited to submit either a short paper (up to 4 pages) or a full paper (up to 10 pages) before the conference. Short papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee and published in the conference proceedings upon acceptance. Full papers will be submitted to peer-reviewing and all accepted full papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published online in the IEEE Xplore database.

We would like to encourage technical demonstrations to take place at the conference, so if you would like to present your work in an engaging way to fellow academics and members of the industry, please contact us via the contact form.

All submissions must be made via our START Conference Manager.

Indoor positioning and navigation is clearly a multidisciplinary area of reasearch, integrating electronics, robotics, computer science, communications and Geographic Information Systems to cite only a few. Therefore, we encourage the submission of contributions in one of the following topics:
