SUMMARY:Map Scripting with Google, Yahoo, and Bing
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Adam DuVander (ProgrammableWeb). You can easily
  add maps to your site using APIs from Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, or MapQ
 uest. However, there are equally good options from the little guys. Lear
 n about your many mapping options and go further with fun services for g
 eocoding, reverse geocoding, and driving directions.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Andrew Turner (FortiusOne), Adam DuVander (Prog
 rammableWeb). Having leading-edge features and capabilities is great, bu
 t if you can’t get data into your system or users can't take their data 
 out, then it’s a dead end. This workshop will cover popular formats (KML
 , GeoRSS/GeoJSON, GML, GPX, Shape Files), services (Google My Maps, GeoC
 ommons, Map Warper), and interfaces that are emergent and upcoming in th
 e Where2.0 space.

SUMMARY:Building Augmented Reality Environments
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Derek Smith (SimpleGeo), Martin Lechner (Mobili
 zy). Having a compass and camera built into smart phones opens up possib
 ilities for augmented reality (AR). Programmers now know more than just 
 location; by also knowing which direction the phone is facing, you can o
 verlay objects on users’ view of the world. This workshop will look at A
 R development on the iPhone and Android platforms.

SUMMARY:The Map as an Information Ecology
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Blaise Agüera y Arcas (Microsoft). When mapping
  first arrived on the web, it was all about driving directions. In the e
 ra of the mashup, we saw map tiles being used as canvas for a variety of
  websites devoted to data visualization and interaction. At Bing, we've 
 been evolving to meet and accelerate the trajectory of these shifts, in 
 the process enabling a broad sweep of new applications written by anyone
 , using data from anywhere.

SUMMARY:Why Location-based Search Requires a New Paradigm for Drivers, o
 r It Is Possible to Find Destinations Without Crashing
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Robert Acker (Aha Mobile, Inc.). Current Web an
 d mobile-based search paradigms can’t be safely used while driving a car
 . However, knowledge of the driver's location and heading, the underlyin
 g road grid, standard contexts, preset preferences,  and his or her beha
 vioral patterns can all be used to translate content from Web publishers
  into a viable and safe driving search experience.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by MG Siegler (TechCrunch), Ryan Sarver (Twitter),
  Josh Williams (Gowalla), Dennis Crowley (foursquare), Sam Altman (Loopt
 ), Mark Hendrickson (Worldly Developments). As more services integrate l
 ocation elements, we're sending out a lot of geo-tagged data. But what d
 oes it say about us? More importantly, how can it help us in our daily l
 ives? How can local businesses use it? Is there a cost/benefit ratio to 
 sharing all this data? We'll discuss these issues.

 repository of more than 8M reviews about local businesses. Its recent mo
 bile app launches suggest that the company is in the sweet spot for LBS
