Agenda

The Location 2.0 Summit will commence with a luncheon, in the St. Regis Ballroom and be hosted by Andrew Seybold, a renowned expert on the convergence of wireless, mobility and the Internet. During his opening remarks, Mr. Seybold will be sharing his insights on the most effective LBS strategies that he has championed from the very early days of the industry. 

After the opening keynote address from a well-known industry leader, attendees will be active participants in the afternoons’ panels and user-experience based Fast-Pitch sessions, featuring the most innovative new LBS application and technologies in beta or on the market today. Learn which business models are working, what's next on the horizon and how all of this will affect you and your business. The discussion panels have been reformatted this year, and will cover consumer and enterprise experiences, the impact of future technologies in wireless and connected devices and current LBS issues and solutions.

The afternoon will conclude with the Location 2.0 Summit Awards Program, which will honor and recognize the outstanding members of the location ecosystem. The cocktail reception accompanying the awards provides an opportunity to make new acquaintances, build strategic partnerships, and interact with other executives and leaders within the location ecosystem.
