Convergence Conversation

Location is Dead, Long Live Location

The September 2010 ConvergenceConversation:

Location is Dead, Long Live Location - all hail the rise of location based services

Everybody knows that the top three success factors for retail, and by extension, any consumer sales proposition, used to be 'location, location and location.'  Then the Internet came along and we were all shopping from home and suddenly location seemed to matter less and less. But thanks to mobility and broadband everywhere, a whole new chapter in the location story is being written.

In this convergence conversation we explore the coming tidal wave of Location Based Services – from retail, to advertising, to service delivery

Join us here at Intellect after work - to listen, learn, contribute and network.  The Convergence Conversation format is always deliberately informal, with a chance for everyone to put forward their views in an open discussion and network over a glass of wine. 

Who’s talking?
The chairman:  Ved Sen, Founder & CEO, ThinkPLANK

Guest Speakers:

• Ed Parsons, Google
• Barry Bridges, Tempero Ltd
• Peter ter Haar, Ordnance Survey
