Call for Papers for the International LIDAR Mapping Forum
Extended Deadline September 11, 2008
The deadline for the ILMF 09 Call for Papers has been extended to September 11. We had feedback that suggested the earlier deadline wasn’t working for some people due to the proximity to the summer holidays.
The Conference Technical Committee is seeking papers and work-in-progress reports on all aspects of airborne and bathymetry LiDAR with a particular emphasis on papers that address the key commercial and technical issues facing the industry. To submit a paper, visit the web site below.
The International Lidar Mapping Forum is the premier event for the LiDAR industry attracting professionals from all over the world looking to invest in and benefit from LiDAR technology and services. The next event is scheduled for January 26 – 28, 2009 in New Orleans, USA.

More than 580 delegates registered from 32 countries.
