Intergeo East 2010 Focuses on Geoinformation

 

Quick access to comprehensive geodata is becoming increasingly important in a virtual world. Runder Tisch GIS e. V. is a network spanning the service sector, industry, public administration, associations and universities.

The conference will focus on the topics of Networking world and Bringing space down. The session of the DVW will be devoted, among other things, to how the INSPIRE Directive is being implemented in Germany. In the plenary session of the co-organiser - the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) - the spotlight will be trained, for example, on laser scanning applications. The plenary session of the Fédération Internationale des Géomètres (FIG) will centre on aspects of disaster management.

Runder Tisch GIS e. V. is seeking to use Intergeo East as an international forum for making new contacts, and it could not have chosen a better location, with major companies such as Trimble, Leica and Topcon among those attending the sixth event. This year, Istanbul is the European Capital of Culture and forging links between growth markets in the geo industry in Europe and Asia, explains Prof. Karl-Friedrich Thöne, President of the German Association of Surveying - Society for Geodesy, Geoinformation and Land Management (DVW). He adds: The trade fair and conference bring together customers and users in a sustainable communication network whose benefits extend far beyond the three event days. As the organiser of Intergeo, which this year takes place in Cologne, and licensor of Intergeo East, DVW has plenty of experience in this regard.

From the outset, this year's location Istanbul - the only city in the world that straddles two continents - seems the perfect venue for generating new impetus. Barthauer is an established brand name for water management software in Germany. There is still considerable potential to be leveraged in this area in Turkey and the Middle East. We hope to meet professional distribution partners and end customers at Intergeo East, says Armin Gromoll, consultant at Barthauer.

Intergeo East 2010 takes place from 19 to 21 May in Istanbul. It is the first time that the event has been held in Turkey.
