 Plenary Panel

Over the past several years, there has been much concern regarding interference of various types in the GNSS frequency bands—intrasystem, intersystem, unintentional and intentional external interference.

The concerns regarding intrasystem interference are a GPS concern regarding signal interference from other GPS signals and other GPS satellites.

The concerns regarding intersystem interference center on mutual interference between GPS and Galileo. A big concern regarding external interference is that from the proposed Ultra-Wide-Band (UWB) technology, which would have to be considered intentional interference if allowed to overlay the GNSS bands.

This panel discussion will draw on perspectives and expertise of noted technical and policy leaders in GNSS to explore the present issues regarding GNSS signal compatibility and interoperability in the presence of these categories of interference.

Dr. Terry McGurn

Speaker Luncheon: Out of Africa
Noon - 2 p.m., Oregon Ballroom

Join us as Andrew Mallory takes you on a virtual African safari and listen to the captivating tales of a truly great hunter who spent considerable time thinking strategy and what to do differently next time. The safari hunt offers realistic metaphors for organizations to apply to their strategic planning. Mallory’s lessons extend beyond survival and focus on how to help your organization thrive in these troubled times.

Mallory will also share with you some hilarious occasions in Africa when GPS was his way out of difficult situations, and the life threatening times when it was not! This event is sure to be full of adventure and storytelling at its best!

British born Andrew Mallory, driven by the passion for adventure, chose Africa as his home for the past fourteen years. His pioneer spirit comes as no surprise to his family, who among them is noted adventurer George Mallory of Mt. Everest fame. As host and writer for the “Discovery” channel, “The BBC” and the “Travel Channel,” Mallory has gained international recognition for his expertise in running some of Africa’s leading safaris.

City of books, bikes, beer and blooms
Portland may be best known for its cutting-edge rock ‘n’ roll, but the alternative sounds of youthful angst coexist here peacefully with Shakespeare, Broadway shows, ballerinas, chamber music ensembles, and full-blown classical orchestrations.

The “Rose City’s” culture, however, isn’t limited to the performing arts. Its personality simmers in hip coffee houses, Native American art galleries, and Portland’s ubiquitous bookstores and brewpubs.

Münich on the Willamette
Portland’s love affair with beer stretches back to 1888, when Henry Weinhard and a few fun-loving civic leaders proposed pumping ale through the Skidmore Fountain for its dedication. None of the city’s fountains are currently overflowing with beer, but more than 40 craft breweries and brewpubs have earned Portland the nickname “Münich on the Willamette.”

What’s on tap? Try an English-style stout, an unfiltered Hefeweizen, or a fruit brew made with raspberries. Just don’t let the enormous array of beer choices intimidate you; Portland natives are always happy to recommend their favorites. Portland’s arts scene changes depending on the time of year. Fall and winter offers great off-season hotel rates and a full menu of theater, symphony and dance productions. Most of the arts companies begin or end their runs during spring and fall. Check out Pioneer Courthouse Square, the Metro Washington Park Zoo and Waterfront Park for blues, jazz and kids’ concerts.

Come As You Are
Portland has an easy come as-you-are attitude toward the arts. The jeans you wore while sampling microbrews work just as well at the symphony and theater. Sure, you’ll see folks in tuxes and pearls, but you’ll also see plenty in flannel and denim. It’s the experience that’s upscale, not the dress code.

World Class Art Exhibitions
Keeping pace with the performing arts, the area’s museums showcase a steady stream of world class exhibitions and artists. Classical and modern art of all kinds is currently displayed at the Portland Art Museum. Following a $45 million capital and endowment campaign, the 109-yearold Portland Art Museum has set its sights a notch higher: opening new permanent exhibit galleries, installing an outdoor sculpture garden and competing aggressively to become the place in the Pacific Northwest to see the nations’s most important traveling shows.

Riding, Walking and Biking
Years of careful urban management have made Portland a city planner’s dream. The MAX (Metropolitan Area Express) light rail system, with service to the airport, and easy-to-navigate bus system move travelers through town efficiently and all offer free service within the downtown Portand area.

Statues and fountains dot every turn. Portland’s miles of nature trails and pedestrian-sized 200-foot city blocks earned its designation as one of America’s best walking towns by Walking Magazine in 1998. Building height restrictions guarantee sunlit streets and make it illegal to block tantalizing views of nearby Mount Hood.

Portland’s 37,000 acres of park space include sizeable chunks of prime downtown real estate, while progressive bike policies have earned Portland a spot among the top three most bicycle-friendly cities in the United States.

Climate
In September, temperatures average 75 degrees (days), 52 degrees (evenings) Fahrenheit. September is a relatively dry time of year in Portland but an umbrella is always recommended anywhere in the Pacific Northwest! Meeting room temperatures vary. For comfort, we recommend you dress in layers.

Ground Transportation - Getting Around Portland
Portland’s high-speed light rail, MAX, connects Portland’s downtown area (Hilton Hotel) to the Oregon Convention Center (OCC) and the airport, as well as to many tourist attractions. It is cheap, convenient, fast, and easy to use.

All MAX trains running between the OCC and downtown are FREE of charge. With the new MAX light rail service to the airport, meeting participants can connect directly to their flights from the convention center.

From the Airport to Your Hotel: Follow the light rail signs in the airport’s baggage claim to the MAX RED LINE. At the end of the terminal, just before you exit, you will find a wall mounted ticket machine. A MAX attendant is usually present to help you purchase your tickets, but there are also easy to follow instructions on the machine. MAX ticket fare from the airport to all convention hotels is $1.55. Ticket machines accept cash and credit cards. You will find a waiting light-rail car just outside the doors. MAX cars depart the airport every 12–20 minutes Monday through Friday (depending on the time of day) and every 14–28 minutes on Saturday & Sunday.
