What paradigm shifting technology are you working on? Submit your proposal now to speak at Where 2.0. Proposals are due by January 5, 2007. http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/where2007/create/e_sess/?CMP=EMC-P8310E137164&ATT=email2

What's the next killer app to find its way out of garage, a loft, a lab bench? We want to know about your open source hacks, the killer piece of code you want to share with the world, and how forward thinking companies can find the gold vein buried deep in the untapped geodata mine. If your company is developing new location-aware products or mashing up old ones, this is your opportunity to share it with a wider audience.

And what an audience you'll find! Where 2.0 brings together inspirational speakers, adventurous thinkers, iconoclasts, trail blazers, and people poised to make real money. It's the one place where corporate decision-makers can meet the people building the next wave of location- and mapping-enabled technology. Where CTOs swap ideas with grassroots developers building mash-ups. Where community activists network with venture capitalists looking for the next investment opportunity. When it comes to location technology, it's not just the place, it's the people.

O'Reilly Media invites technologists and strategists, CTOs, CIOs, technology evangelists and scouts, researchers, programmers, geographers, researchers and academics, artists and activists, GIS veterans, neogeographers, business developers, and entrepreneurs to present on-stage at Where 2.0.

And don't forget the Where Fair!
For the third year in a row, the Where Fair will spotlight the coolest location-aware tools, apps, and hardware created in garages and university labs. If you've got a gadget, a prototype, or fledgling application you want to share with the world, the Where Fair is a great place to meet the public, swap ideas, and get feedback in a hands-on, science fair style environment. If you've got a cool location-based project that would wow and amaze at the Where Fair, tell us. Where Fair proposals are also due January 5, 2007. http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/where2007/create/e_sess/?CMP=EMC-P8310E137164&ATT=email2
