Location information is critical to many emerging location-based applications in indoor environments. While GNSS technology dominates outdoors, no standard and straightforward solution yet exists indoors, i.e., accurate and economic enough for the mass market. First launched in 2010 in Zurich, Switzerland, Indoor Positioning and Indoor Navigation (IPIN) is a prestigious event dedicated to indoor localization, its applications, and its development. Over the years, IPIN has been an excellent global forum for researchers, developers, and service providers in indoor positioning and navigation, attracting experts from diverse disciplines, such as computer science, electronics, robotics, aerospace, and surveying, to address this challenge. The 14th edition of the IPIN Conference and the 11th IPIN Competition will be held in Hong Kong, China, an international and vibrant city where Eastern and Western cultures blend. IPIN solicits submissions of high-quality technical papers reporting original work not previously published, nor currently submitted for consideration elsewhere.

• Call for Regular Papers: Regular papers are limited to 6 IEEE format pages (including references), for oral presentation. Note that authors are encouraged to submit 6-page, original and unpublished full articles. After acceptance and successful revision, a final paper may be up to 8 pages long. However, please note that for papers longer than 6 pages, additional page fees (per page) will apply at the time of registration and final submission of the paper. Please do not submit any paper with more than 6 pages for initial review. Manuscripts are submitted according to the instructions for authors. Papers undergo a single-blind review process by at least two reviewers. Accepted regular papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Best papers are awarded during the conference. The winners of the best papers will be waived the APC for publication of extended versions of their papers in the IEEE Journal of Indoor and Seamless Positioning and Navigation (J-ISPIN) journal.



• Call for Work-in-Progress (WiP) Papers: Work-in-Progress (WiP) papers are limited to 5 to 8 single-column CEUR-WS format pages, for poster or oral presentation. Manuscripts are submitted according to the instructions for authors. Papers undergo a single-blind review process by at least two reviewers. Accepted WiP papers will be submitted to CEUR-WS.org, which is currently indexed by Scopus, Ei Compendex and DBLP.
• Regular paper: IEEE format for oral presentation
• Work-in-Progress (WiP) paper: between 5-16 single-column CEUR-WS format pages, for poster or oral presentation
