Another highlight will be the Where Fair, a science fair-style showcase of cutting-edge, location-based projects from research, academia, and yet-to-be-discovered entrepreneurs who are working out of garages and university labs. Finally, Where 2.0 will host an exhibit hall where the latest products and services related to location will be displayed.
