‘User-driven’ Development and Application

www.enavigation.org

November 17th and 18th, 2009
Bell Harbor Conference Center
Seattle, WA


“E-navigation will be developed to meet user needs. My advice to you …get involved!”
Professor Lee Alexander
University of New Hampshire

Now in its 9th year, eNavigation 2009 will focus on the user: from the individual mariner, to the fleet manager, to waterways and harbor authorities, to regulatory and environmental agencies.

The only conference of its kind in the USA, eNavigation 2009 provides the operations sector of the maritime community a unique opportunity to interact with the regulators, policymakers and international organizations making and implementing AIS and eNavigation policy.

Conference Goals

  1. To serve as a forum for users to learn about the eNavigation concept, the status of its development and to learn how it may affect their segment of the maritime community.
  2. To provide updates to users on how regulatory and legislative developments will affect them.
  3. To provide information about technological developments in shipboard displays, communications, database management, improvements to components such as radar and Integrated Bridge Systems (IBS), and other innovations that will benefit eNavigation users.
  4. Present examples of successful eNavigation applications; what they do and their benefits.
  5. Assist in the identification of potential users of eNavigation and their specific needs, so that through early identification they can be accommodated in system architecture development. 

Register today to join us in Seattle for this important eNavigation Conference. Your participation means your voice will be heard by policymakers and regulators from across the US, and around the world.
