Ignite Where & Launch Pad
The geo space is too big to fit into two days of stage time. So returning for the second year is Ignite Where and Launchpad. We’re going to give startups 5 minutes to show their new products—no slides, demoes only. We’re also going to have a series of fast-paced Ignite talks. Each will be 20 slides that advance automatically after 15 seconds.
Exhibit Hall Reception
Where 2.0’s Exhibit Hall will showcase state-of-the-art systems, apps, and services in the location space. Mingle with fellow conference participants at the Sponsor Reception and see from exhibitors and sponsors what location-aware technologies have to offer.
Where Fair
Where Fair projects will be selected from research, academia, and yet-to-be-discovered entrepreneurs. The Where Fair complements the Conference’s Exhibit Hall that showcases state-of-the-art systems, apps, and services in the location space.
