Each day sees ground breaking new developments in the world of location-based services. Manufacturers in China project a growth of 54% in production of GPS devices. In Sweden, satellite navigation systems can show drivers the most efficient route to their destination, on the fly, providing shorter driving times, and lowering fuel consumption and reducing greenhouse gasses. In the U.S. consumers can now roam their favorite neighborhood with location aware phones to find apartments for rent. The pace of change in the industry is rapid, and increasing.
Keep your finger on the pulse of change in the location-based industry and make plans now to attend the O'Reilly Where 2.0 Conference. You'll meet the people changing the way we think about how we find our way in the world. You'll see the coolest new technology before it gets released. And you'll see the future of the geospatial industry first.
