The aim of the International Conference on LiDAR Technology and Remote Sensing Applications (LiDAR 2009), which will be held in Russia from 11 to 13 November 2011, is to provide a platform for academics and engineers in LiDAR technology and remote sensing application areas to meet, exchange ideas, and establish professional networks. It is a forum to focus on specific disciplinary research, as well as on multi-disciplinary studies. The uniqueness of LiDAR and remote sensing is that it crosses narrowly defined subject areas and gathers researchers from not only technical areas, but also from areas which use the technology.

The conference site, Vladivostok, a naval outpost was founded in 1859 by Count Nikolay Muravyov-Amursky, who named it after the model of Vladikavkaz, a Russian fortress in the Caucasus. The city's economy was given a boost in 1903, with the completion of the Trans-Siberian Railway which connected Vladivostok to Moscow and Europe. As the main naval base of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, the city was closed to foreigners during the Soviet years and wasn't open until 1998.

During the past few years, LiDAR technology has migrated from laboratory to a highly cost effective practical mapping tool with wide raging of applications, such as measuring uplift in geology, monitoring glaciers and coastal change, measuring the speed of atmospheric winds, acquiring wind speed & turbulence in renewable energy sector, estimating phytoplankton fluorescence and generally biomass in the surface layers of the ocean, measuring vehicle speed and target identification. .
