Location is going everywhere - O'Reilly Where 2.0 Conference announces its roster of speakers and session topics, available here

 

Where 2.0 puts the location-based and geospatial industry on the map. Industry leading visionaries, under-the-radar projects, and companies that are bringing cutting edge location aware technologies to your car, your cell phone, your PDA, your computer screen...for two days, we're bringing it all to San Jose, CA at Where 2.0 happening May 29-30, 2007.

Registration for Where 2.0 is now open. Register before April 12 and save $400 off the regular conference price. http://conferences.oreillynet.com/pub/w/56/register.html

What Makes Where 2.0 The Must-Attend Conference in the Geo-Spatial Industry?

The unique, fast-paced format. All of the sessions and speakers at Where 2.0 will take place in one room. In two fast-paced days, this single-track conference combines high profile keynotes with big players, lightening talks, and panel discussions. It's a format designed to ensure you'll never miss a thing.

Ignite Where

Hosted by program chair Brady Forrest, Ignite Where is a series of rapid-fire, five minute presentations combining geekery and high tech innovations in a spirit of sharing. New to Where 2.0, Ignite Where kicks off the conference with high-energy, inspirational presentations designed to set your imagination on fire. The presentations come from attendees and there are 20 slots available. Sign-up today to present. http://conferences.oreillynet.com/pub/w/56/events.html

Cutting-Edge Topics Presented by Industry Leaders:

= Love In The Time Of Cholera Maps: Mapping Communities From The Ground Up Real-world communities need tools to think spatially about the information around them. Steven Johnson, co-founder of Outside.in, will show how placeblogging and the geo-spatial web can create maps to represent and understand the knowledge trapped inside neighborhoods and communities.

= Where.gov: Government Surveillance Using Location Technology Kevin Bankston, staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, will address government demands for location information as part of criminal and intelligence investigations.

= Learning Lessons from Neogeography Ian Holt, Senior Consultant of Ordnance Survey, and Mikal Maron of WolrdKit will explain how the national mapping agency of Great Britain uses GeoRSS to push feeds from 600 surveyors who capture 5,000 changes every day to emergency planners to ensure they have the most up-to-date data with a minimum of delay.

= Where is Never Again? Can the Where 2.0 paradigm be used to spotlight genocide and help UN peacekeepers and aid workers prevent it? Michael Graham, Humanitarian GIS Program Coordinator, U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, will describe how a real-time incident reporting system accessible to users with Google Earth, online maps, GeoRSS applications, sensor web models, easy access to satellite imagery, and real-time information-sharing can add value to genocide prevention efforts around the globe.

= Mapping the Maximum City With over 14 million people, Mumbai has been called the "maximum city". Schuyler Erle of MetaCarta will explain how a grassroots organization with almost no funding used Free Software to make a highly detailed map-down to the building level-of one of the largest and most densely populated urban areas on the planet in a form both freely available and publicly editable.

= Getting into the Car: Geo-Located Information Breaks Free In-dash navigation systems that pinpoint the location of your car are just the beginning. Eric Klein, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Dash Navigation will discuss how GeoRSS and other open APIs expose your geo-located information to deliver movie times, great places to eat, dog parks of San Francisco, apartments for rent, and other personally relevant information, all to your car.

For more information on these speakers and sessions, and to stay up-to-date on the conference schedule, be sure to visit http://conferences.oreillynet.com/pub/w/56/schedule.html. New sessions are added weekly, so check back often.

Where is the best place to discover the ideas, trends, and people making a difference in location-based technology? It's Where 2.0, May 29-30, 2007 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, California, U.S.
