ADS and Farnborough International Limited to Launch Global Intelligent Systems Event in 2013
ADS, the trade organisation for UK Aerospace, Defence, Security and Space, together with Airshow organisers, Farnborough International Limited (FIL), have announced a new event to be launched as a joint venture in July 2013. The event, Global Intelligent Systems (GIS), will take place 16-17 July 2013 at the FIVE venue in Hampshire where the Farnborough International Airshow is held every other year.
GIS 2013 aims to provide an international showcase for the technology behind Autonomous and Intelligent Systems where its capabilities can be demonstrated and a forum for discussion and debate as to the future development of this major growth market. The defence sector will be represented by products such as Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). Other sectors including energy, rail, automotive, healthcare and agriculture will also be represented, highlighting how the use of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems technology is already being widely applied throughout global industries.
GIS 2013 will be a two-day conference that will feature speakers including leading figures from industry, high-level academics and government officials, as well as offering opportunities for seminars and focus groups to discuss industry topics in greater detail. An exhibition will run alongside the conference where products and technology will be displayed and live demonstrations will take place. A gala dinner will provide further networking opportunities on the first evening of the event and residential delegate packages will be available for attendees.
Kevin Jones, Director – Information Exploitation and Air, ADS, spoke about the launch of GIS saying: "Global Intelligent Systems has been designed to transcend sectors and bring together the whole of the international community advancing Autonomous and Intelligent Systems technology and to provide a forum from which opportunities for growth and development can be identified and exploited. There are many ways to be involved by attending the conferences and/or exhibiting. Sponsors are also offered the chance to have a share of voice in shaping this new event for 2013 and beyond."
