ION GNSS+ 2026

About ION GNSS+

ION GNSS+ is a conference, exhibition and training scheduled for 14-18 September 2026 at Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando, United States. Its scope brings gNSS technology, positioning navigation and timing, satellite navigation signals and resilient PNT into one programme, giving the event a clear primary identity rather than treating every adjacent aerospace or space subject as equivalent. ION GNSS+ is built around exhibitor displays, sector meetings and technical and commercial conversations, which clarifies what the event actually offers. For gNSS engineers, pNT researchers and navigation-system developers, ION GNSS offers specialist subjects in the context of the organisations, systems and decisions that use them.

ION GNSS+ also creates useful links between gNSS technology and positioning navigation and timing, two areas that often need to be considered together in real projects. At ION GNSS+, the venue and programme should be read together because its conference, exhibition and training format determines how the day is organised. That ION GNSS+ combination gives prospective attendees a practical basis for deciding whether the event matches their work before committing time or travel.

Event history and organiser

ION GNSS+ is presented as a continuing event family, with ION GNSS+ 2026 forming its 2026 edition. Institute of Navigation (ION) is named in the current event information as the organisation responsible for, or directly connected with, ION GNSS+. For ION GNSS+, the year is the clearest edition marker and separates the current programme from archived material for earlier events. Across ION GNSS editions, the stable identity comes from gNSS technology, positioning navigation and timing and satellite navigation signals, while dates, venue arrangements and access details remain edition-specific. ION GNSS+ should therefore be understood through both its continuing sector role and the practical information published for 2026. Institute of Navigation (ION)'s relationship with ION GNSS+ identifies who sets the programme context and where attendees should look for authoritative updates. The ION GNSS edition at Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando, United States continues that identity while giving the programme a specific geographic and institutional setting.

Topics and themes

ION GNSS+ groups its subject matter around gNSS technology, positioning navigation and timing and satellite navigation signals. For gNSS technology at ION GNSS, the themes below explain practical relationships with the format and intended audience rather than repeating isolated terms.

• GNSS technology: At ION GNSS, addresses the signals, receivers, timing and resilience questions behind dependable positioning and navigation services.
• Positioning navigation and timing: At ION GNSS, addresses the signals, receivers, timing and resilience questions behind dependable positioning and navigation services.
• Satellite navigation signals: At ION GNSS, addresses the signals, receivers, timing and resilience questions behind dependable positioning and navigation services.
• Resilient PNT: At ION GNSS, addresses the signals, receivers, timing and resilience questions behind dependable positioning and navigation services.
• Navigation applications: At ION GNSS, addresses the signals, receivers, timing and resilience questions behind dependable positioning and navigation services.

Who should attend?

ION GNSS+ is principally relevant to gNSS engineers, pNT researchers and navigation-system developers. At ION GNSS, these groups can use the exhibitor displays and sector meetings to place gNSS technology alongside positioning navigation and timing and identify programme areas closest to their responsibilities. Aerospace and defence users can assess ION GNSS+ from a different angle, using its themes to understand where their work intersects with the main professional community. Exhibitors and training attendees may also find a good fit where the programme addresses satellite navigation signals. ION GNSS+ is less useful to people seeking unrelated general-interest content because its value comes from the defined focus on gNSS technology.
