The Integrated Communications Navigation, and Surveillance (ICNS) Conference is the premier international aviation conference addressing technology and policy advances in communications, navigation, and surveillance (CNS) and air traffic management (ATM). The ICNS Conference provides a forum for thought leaders, policymakers, researchers, and other technical experts from government, industry, and academia around the world to connect and explore important policy, science, and technology issues. This includes air navigation service providers (ANSPs), communication service providers, aircraft manufacturers, airspace users, government and regulators, academia, and many aviation industry suppliers.

ICNS 2025 will explore the CNS evolution and address innovative models of service provision focusing on the technical developments, global harmonization, and future opportunities for communication, navigation, and surveillance technologies to expand the CNS role in ensuring the safety, reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of aviation.

The ICNS 2025 edition will take place for the first time in Europe — facilitating the participation and active involvement of new participants, as well as bringing the conference closer to other major centers of aviation. ICNS 2025 will be a three-day in-person event to be held at the EUROCONTROL Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. The conference will include plenary sessions in the mornings and technical discussions in parallel tracks in the afternoons. Distinguished speakers will set the stage for policy, economic, operational, and technological aspects in opening keynotes. Each plenary session will address a CNS topic of global relevance. Each technical discussion will be a presentation of a technical/scientific paper followed by Q&A.

The ICNS Conference provides an excellent opportunity for networking with friends and colleagues from across the world during the breaks and social events, and for sharing views and ideas with policymakers and researchers.
