EVENT: MetaPlaces – How To Monetize Location Data & Services

September 22nd, 2009 by Eric

I’ll be speaking at the MetaPlaces conference in San Jose today. Below is the abstract:

The Web as the location platform and the widget opportunity
Discuss the opportunities and risks for building a location service empire running on top of a browser.

What’s the shape of the widget market to come, and who will profit the most?
The position of the browser in the location industry
Key opportunities for app providers, carriers and device manufacturers
Limitations of the widget infrastructure: control and availability
What are the solutions for device API access, privacy and control issues?

Joining me on the panel to discuss are:

Doug Turner, Mobile Engineer, Mozilla Fennec
Jonathan McPhie, Product Manager, Google
Dave Daetz, Senior Director of Corporate Development, Palm Inc.
Raj Singh, VP of Business Development, Skyfire
Lars Erik Bolstad, VP of Core Technology, Opera Software
Dan Gilmartin, VP of Marketing, uLocate
