Karlsruhe – This year’s INTERGEO conference will feature distinguished
national and international speakers. Cornelia Rogall-Grothe, state secretary at
the German Federal Ministry of the Interior, Steven W. Berglund, president and
CEO of Trimble, and CheeHai Teo, president of the International Federation of
Surveyors (FIG), will all hold keynote speeches.
From Oct. 9-11, 2012, INTERGEO in Hanover will address
topics such as Open GeoData and energy issues, cloud computing, 3D and new
technologies, urban development and property valuation. Another highlight will
be the first ever national INSPIRE Conference, which will also deal with
central European issues. The second Navigation Conference and the third CLGE
conference of European surveyors will also take place alongside INTERGEO. At
the European Students Meeting, the next generation of geodata specialists from
throughout Europe will use INTERGEO as a
platform to share information and ideas.
Prof. Karl-Friedrich Thöne, president of
the German Society for Geodesy, Geoinformation and Land Management (DVW. e.V.),
the host of INTERGEO, said participants can look forward to a conference
program “devoted to the key national and international topics of this year’s INTERGEO”.
On the opening day, Rogall-Grothe is set to praise “INSPIRE as a driver of the
national geodata infrastructure”. German Minister of the Interior Dr.
Hans-Peter Friedrich is the patron of the event. On the second conference day,
Berglund will talk about “Technology as Stimulus to an Expanding Universe for
Geospatial Information”, and Teo will open the third conference day with “The
Role of the Surveyor – an International View”.
INTERGEO will be held in conjunction with the 60th German Cartographers’ Day,
