2007 Conference
The 2007 Conference will take place April 16–18, 2007 at the Parc 55 Hotel in San Francisco. The keynote speech will be delivered by Kanwar Chadha, founder of SiRF Technology Holdings. Chadha’s keynote will highlight location technology in enterprise applications, how the use of consumer applications is filtering into enterprise solutions, and how Wi-Fi and GPS will work in tandem to deliver location-based services for both enterprise and consumer applications.
The first day of the conference will feature workshops by top executives from Business Objects, CH2M Hill, ESRI, High Earth Orbit, Google, the Open Geospatial Consortium, MapQuest, Microsoft, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation and Oracle Corporation. Workshops will feature hands-on product demonstrations and use real world case studies to demonstrate how organizations can successfully implement location technology within their business.
The second and third days of the conference will be composed of more than 30 sessions – with more than 100 speakers – arranged into three tracks: enterprise, content and mobility.
Other highlights include: a panel discussion on business opportunities in local search featuring executives from InfoSpace, Local Matters, Microsoft Virtual Earth and Yahoo! Local and a market research panel moderated by Brad Stone of The New York Times, featuring representatives from Aberdeen Group, IDC, Ventana, and Yankee Group.
