LBS Conferences


The Location Intelligence Conference, April 3-5 '06 in San Francisco:
Since we first launched this conference two years ago, we are seeing an explosion in the interest for location technology. From mapping portals, to web services, to the integration of geospatial software solutions with business intelligence and enterprise databases, the demand for better tools to help analyze the inherent location-based relationships in business data is intensifying.
Driven at the enterprise level by companies such as Oracle, Microsoft and IBM, and at the consumer level by Google, Yahoo, and MapQuest, the rate of adoption of location technology for strategic business process management is rapidly expanding. More so than at the beginning of the 1990's when desktop mapping first allowed businesses to visualize their customer information, the incorporation of location technology with other enterprise software to create true “location intelligence” is giving executives a clearer view of their operations.
The 2006 conference will look to accelerate the understanding about how to “profit” from location technology to turn the plethora of business data into “location intelligence.”

The Map Middle East Conference in Dubai (26-29 March) has some interesting sponsors - BAE Systems, Bentley, MapInfo and others.

I'm also interested in the 2006 Wireless & Mobile Expo and Conference on June 7 & 8 in Toronto Canada.
