================================================================================

The  tenth edition  of the  International conference  on Indoor  Positioning and
Indoor  Navigation and  the sixth  IPIN Competition  are taking  place in  Pisa,
Italy. Launched in 2010, IPIN is  entirely dedicated to indoor localisation, its
applications and its development.

The last ten years have seen enormous  technical progress in this field, yet, in
contrast  with outdoors  well-established  GNSS solutions,  no technology  still
exists  cheap  and  accurate  enough  for the  general  market.   The  potential
applications  of indoor  localisation are  all-encompassing, from  home to  wide
public areas, from IoT and personal  devices to surveillance and crowd behaviour
applications, from casual use to mission-critical systems.

Join  the  250   expected  industrial  and  academic   experts  in  informatics,
electronics  and  surveying  to  address  this  challenge.   Discuss  in  person
scientific and industrial matters, witness state-of-the-art systems and methods,
including the  uniquely challenging IPIN  competition.  Profit from  the welcome
cocktail, the social dinner and the  city sightseeing tour to establish personal
contacts in a relaxed atmosphere.  Enjoy  the ancient town of Pisa and beautiful
Tuscany.
