Where 2.0: Ignite & NAVTEQ's LBS Challenge Tuesday Night
The Where 2.0 Conference starts tomorrow with workshops all day. In the evening
we will have our kick-off event in the Ballroom at the San Jose Marriott. As
always we start off with a series of Ignite talks. This year in the middle of
Ignite we are going to host the NAVTEQ LBS Challenge Awards.
The Ignite talks look great this year and touch on major issues in the mobile,
mapping and local industries. Patrick Meier will be talking about Ushahidi's
work in Haiti. Paul Ramsey will inform us why our data sucks. Jonathan Stark
will address the problems with App Stores. It should be a fun night. The
complete list of talks is after the jump
Ignite Where kicks off at 7:00 p.m. and NAVTEQ’s seven year old Global LBS
Challenge developer competition takes the main stage live at 8:00 p.m. All
twelve finalists will make a one minute pitch of their location-based
applications, giving the audience a taste of what it takes to make it to the
Challenge finals. They are competing for prizes valued at $10 million. The
audience will provide input via SMS.
