With the convergence of both the Location and Navigation markets, opportunities are arising within local search, reach and relevancy, alongside advertising and social location. These topics are all underplayed by the demand of the consumer, and what the end-user wants. Whether the automotive and LBS service providers are managing to live up to the high expectations of the consumer is another issue which clearly needs addressing.
The Location and Navigation Summit has been created to provide a much needed forum to address these challenges.
Naomi Hands, TheWhereBusiness VP North America & Europe, commented: Im really thrilled with the way the forum has shaped up, and that weve managed to bring such a cross section of the ecosystem together under one roof. Not only this but with case studies from global brands, were finally going to hear what is working and what isnt.
Additions to the speaker line-up include the likes of Head of Product and Engineering for eBay Local, Senior Advanced Technology Engineer for BMW, Product Management Lead, Local Mobile Advertising, at Google, and MTV Networks Senior Director, Business Development, International Digital Media.
These industry trailblazers will join the likes of Apple, General Motors, Delphi, Sprint, Tasti D-Lite, Placecast, JiWire, OMD, Mastercard, RIM, Panasonic, Nokia, Georillas, T-Mobile, Palm, CSR, Sony Ericsson, Trimble Outdoors, Urban Mapping, Factual, Yahoo! and many more.
The event has also attracted sponsors from some of the biggest names in the industry. TomTom are confirmed as Gold Sponsor of the event, as well as deCarta (local search sponsor), Localeze (Co-Sponsor) and an array of exhibitors.
Naomi Hands also commented With such support from associations such as the Mobile Marketing Association, Wireless Communications Alliance, the Location Forum, and Location Based Marketing Association, we really do have full industry backing for this event.
