Where 2.0

As if there weren't already too many conferences for GIS professionals out there, here's another one in San Jose on June 13-14th.

Everything happens somewhere. With open source and free web mapping tools like Ka-Map and Google Maps, we finally have a way to display location information. At last year's Where 2.0, we put the spotlight on the grassroots developers building mash-ups on platforms from Microsoft, Yahoo!, and Google. This year we'll look at the latest developments in those platforms as well as the latest startups, civic projects, and labs experiments built on them.

In addition you'll find source mapping tools, open standards for data and location web services, and sensors for obtaining location data. We'll learn how the established geo industry is reacting to the first businesses making money from their grassroots geospatial projects. There's no better place to meet the people behind the mash-ups, the people behind the platforms, and the people looking ahead to the future of geospatial.

Who Should Attend?

Decision makers, infrastructure players and entrepreneurs in the mobile, location-sensing, mapping and geospatial fields will mix with IT executives, top-level product and marketing managers, investors and inventive hackers across a broad spectrum of industries.
