I’ll be attending again this year. Look for three full days of hands-on training, information-rich sessions, and an Expo Hall filled with key players and products. Where’s location-centric topics include Mobile Development, Location Development, Business & Strategy and Marketing, as well as a Location Marketing Boot Camp.

Now in its eighth year, the OReilly Where Conference: The Art and Business of Location, is about leading trends rather than chasing them. The Where Conference is also about business: where people live, where they go, and where, when, and how they spend their money. From product development to distribution, marketing, and sales, location technologies help companies identify, understand, and serve their markets far more effectively than ever before. There's no better place to meet the people behind the mashups, the people behind the platforms, and the people looking ahead. If possible, attend the Where Conference in April, in San Francisco to debate and discuss what's viable now, and what's lurking just below the radar.
