  Thank you for the compliment. I know that I tend to speak quite quickly. I am very excited about the space a possibilities and often I get ahead of myself in conveying those ideas.

The past five years have seen significant changes in the geospatial web. Its importance and functionality have matured—it's not just maps anymore! Where 2.0 takes the exploration of "location aware" even further.

Where 2.0 delves into the emerging technologies surrounding the geospatial industry, particularly the way our lives are organized, from finding a restaurant to finding the source of a new millennium plague. Maps are everywhere now, from your desktop to your iPhone to your car to your oil rig, and presented as realistically or as representationally as suits your needs. Thanks to the launch of Geo-Eye and other projects, location information makes devices more useful, and is therefore becoming a given.

The barriers to building location-based online and enterprise apps have been lowered, and the field is crowding with players. Now that consumers—from the home seeker to the environmental scientist—have access to incredible amounts of data and the tools to visualize it, what's considered cutting edge? Where is the next mapping frontier? Is it data collection and visualization? Innerspace? Who are the hackers and early adopters backing? How will big companies jumping in change the rules in mid-game? Is there still a first mover advantage? And again, where is the money?

Where 2.0 attendees witness this ground breaking content first hand by attending sessions, workshops, Ignite, and the Where Fair at the 2009 event. Some of the topics we'll be exploring at Where 2.0 include:

• The Implications of Our New Location-enabled Lives
• Reality Mining
• Augmented Reality
• Immersive and 3D Imagery
• Mapping Tables
• Government 2.0
• Crowdsourcing
• Disease Awareness
• Cartography
• Geo Support in Web Application Frameworks
• GeoStack and GeoBrowsers
• Mapping APIs
• GeoTargeting
• Privacy Implications
• Data Management
• Local Search and Advertising
• Protocols and Formats

At the O'Reilly Where 2.0 Conference, we expose the tools pushing the boundaries of the location frontier, track the emergence of new business models and services, and spend time examining new sources of data and the platforms for collecting them.

Where 2.0 brings together the people, projects, and issues building the new technological foundations and creating value in the location industry. Join with other developers, technologists, CTOs, researchers, geographers, academics, business developers, and entrepreneurs to debate and discuss what's viable now, and what's lurking just below the radar. Learn more about Where 2.0.

Where 2.0 2009 happened May 19-21 at the Fairmont San Jose in San Jose, California. Stay tuned for more information about Where 2.0 2010, coming soon!
