Most days it’s fine to live in good old Europe. But then there are days where you might want to blame yourself not to live in the valley. Well today seems to be one of these days.
I just noticed some very interesting events coming up soon at google and o’reilly, all about local and maps. Loads of interesting speakers and topics. That’s when it feels like you are light-years away from where it all happens.
All i can hope for now is that there will be a good coverage on the conference in news and blogsphere …
Google’s Geo Developer Day & The Future of Mapping and Local Search
Having problems with the Google Maps toolset? Frustrated by the lack of a geocoder? KML keeping you up at night? Yes, this is your big chance to personally meet the people responsible for your most vexing development problems. We’re talking luminaries like Jens Rasmussen (the info window drop shadow guy), Chikai Ohazama (the Neil Armstrong of Google Moon), and John Rohlf (the J in “KML”). Geo Developers Day
Where 2.0 / June 13-14 at the Fairmont Hotel San Jose
Everything Happens Somewhere. Be there when it happens here.
The Where 2.0 Conference brings together the people, projects, and issues leading the charge into the location based technological frontier. Join us to debate and discuss what’s viable now, and what’s lurking just below the radar. There’s no better place to meet the people behind the mash-ups and platforms, and the folks looking ahead to the future of geospace.Who and what will be featured at Where 2.0? Amazing location systems, untapped geodata, unsung projects and hardware, people who are poised to make real money–and why. High profile keynote conversations with big players, “high order bits” demoing cool startups and neat applications. We’re angling for shorter talks with longer breaks so you’ll have more time for one-on-one interactions.

What are you concerned about? There’s nothing that will be revealed in the conference that won’t be published on the WWW. And the best part is that it will be critiqued and filtered so you need only sit through the good part, instead of finding that you attended the wrong session and received a boring marketing demonstration instead.
based on what I learned during the SES this year in munich you’re perfectly right. nothing quite new to hear and mostly lame panels.
but really interesting was meeting up with people like mike grehan, thomas bindl, danny sullivan aso.
It’s just like always if there is something you can’t have its getting more and more attractive …
