Wired News Visits Where 2.0

By Michael Calore May 25, 2007 Categories: Events

Set your portable GPS for 37.3324, -121.8892.

On Tuesday, May 29, San Jose, California becomes ground zero for geodata geekery as the O’Reilly Where 2.0 Conference gets underway. We’ll be at the Fairmont Hotel covering the conference, bringing you live reports from the speakers and panels as well as reports from the expo hall.

The Compiler crew attended last year’s inaugural event. We saw some demos from Imity, Google SketchUp and Platial, among others. This year, we’ll see a presentation from online news service Topix about what role location plays in news reporting, an overview of government surevilance technology by Kevin Bankston of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and a demo of interactive web mapping tech from Stamen Design (the studio that makes those supercool Digg visualizations). Also to be expected are demos and news from the biggest names in digital maps: MapQuest, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, OpenStreetMap and deCarta. And don’t forget about all those mashups.

Keep refreshing this page for updates throughout the day.
