Where And When Is ELMF?
The second ELMF is taking place at the Salzburg Congress, Salzburg, Austria from 29 – 30 November 2011. Salzburg is often quoted as being at the heart of Europe. Centrally located, Salzburg is easily accessible for northern, southern, eastern and western European countries with excellent flights, road and rail connections.

Successful First Launch In 2010
Last year’s inaugural event attracted 613 professionals from the mapping, surveying and GIS industries representing 46 countries. The conference programme heard 46 technical papers presented by leading authorities in their field, supported by a sold-out exhibition with 51 of the top international organisations in attendance. The 2011 event is expecting to build on these statistics and once again look forward to welcoming the mobile mapping vehicles that will reside in the forecourt of the venue.

Call For Papers – Deadline 25th July 2011
The organisers are also enjoying a very positive response to the Call for Papers that was announced recently with many abstracts already submitted. The ELMF conference is a unique platform on which to launch the latest concepts from commercial or academic research, leading edge innovations in technologies, improved operating practices, reports on actual project experiences and to discuss new applications and markets being driven by the rapid improvements in LIDAR technology. Over two days the conference will focus on the use of LIDAR to support transport, urban modelling, coastal zone mapping, asset management and GIS applications. The call for papers deadline is 25th July 2011 and abstracts can be submitted online at http://www.lidarmap.org/ELMF/conference/submit_papers.aspx
Technical Workshops
Another exciting element to ELMF is the technical workshop programme. Hosted by exhibiting companies the aim is to provide novice operators and their managers and potential purchasers of equipment with an understanding of the basic principles and fundamental benefits and technology associated with LIDAR whilst providing the more seasoned experts with up-to-date information on current developments.

Experience Counts
The organisers, Intelligent Exhibitions, have a successful record of 10 years of the International LiDAR Mapping Forum [ILMF] the premier international conference for LIDAR and Mobile Mapping which is held annually in the USA. With growing acceptance in Europe of the benefits of LIDAR in low cost mapping, the European LIDAR community wanted a showcase for their fast growing number of applications, and so the ELMF was born. The next ILMF is taking place in Denver, CO, USA from January 23 – 25, 2012 www.lidarmap.org

We look forward to welcoming you Salzburg in 2011.
