Co Sponsors:
The Location Based Services market is booming. The companies that figure out how to capitalize on this emerging trend are going to generate huge profits. If you want to
be one of them, you must attend The Location Based Summit USA 2010.
Ten years ago the US military opened up their GPS satellite system for commercial use, enabling vastly increased GPS accuracy. Big expectations and predictions followed, but it’s taken until now for the revolutionary potential of this technology to start to take hold.
US consumers are now taking notice – they are sharing their location on social media, taking part in Location Based Gaming and using services to track their children, pets and cars. LBS terms like ‘geocaching’ and ‘POI’ are now widely used and understood.
The growth in consumer interest, coupled with the meteoric rise of smart phones and an evolving mobile broadband infrastructure, has led many industry analysts to forecast unparalleled growth across all sectors of LBS in the next two years.
“Location-based services will be a $13 billion business by 2013” ABI Research
But big growth raises big questions:
• What’sthebestwaytotackleprivacyissues and avoid negative consumer backlash?
• WhatLBSservicesdouserswantandwhat are they willing to pay for?
• Withhandsetmakersandotherbigplayers bundling in LBS services as free value adds, how can smaller companies monetize their services?
• WhatindustrystandardsarelikelytoemergeforLocationBasedAdvertising(LBA)andhowwilltheyberegulated?
By arming yourself with the latest forecasts, predictions and analysis of these vital questions you’ll be in a strong position to make the smart strategic choices that will secure your future in the LBS industry.
This is why The Location Business Summit USA 2010 was created – so that you have one place to go to in order to get the information and contacts you need to make your LBS company thrive.
“Mobile Local Search Users to Reach Almost 1.5bn by 2014 as GPS Migrates into Mass Market Handsets”Juniper Research
The current surge in LBS use is just the beginning, now is the time to set your game plan for the next few years - if you wait or make uninformed decisions, you will lose out to your competitors.
Read the summit agenda enclosed in this brochure and you will see that every session is focused on a critical topic faced by your LBS business.
“Mobile paid search spending is expected to grow 45% to $295.4 Million in 2010 and potentially reach $1.2 billion by 2012” eMarketer
We have taken the time to research all the angles so that you will come away with a comprehensive body of knowledge about the state of industry and the expected near-term developments.
AttendthisSummitanddiscoverexpertopinions on how to prepare for the privacy concerns that lie ahead. Find out how how advertising agencies and corporate marketers want to use Location Based Advertising.Andhearsomeoftoday’smost innovative social media companies discuss what’s next for Location Based Social Media and gaming.
Nokia, MTV Networks, Yahoo, Brightkite, Bloomberg, Layar, AT&T interactive, Booyah, MMA, Palm, Ogilvy and many more key players will debate how to optimize local search, overcome platform fragmentation and debate the future of LocationBasedAdvertising.
“Online local ad spend is estimated to grow 5% to $14.9billion in 2010, before growing at a higher single digit rate in 2011”. Canaccord Adams
On top of that you’ll hear up-to-date, exclusive market data that you can use as a solid basis for making business-critical decisions and forecasting the moves you need to make sure your revenue increases in pace with the industry as a whole.
The Location Business Summit USA 2010 is the most business focused LBS conference you will attend this year. Our agenda is tailored specifically on the core business issues facing LBS companies who are trying to monetize their offerings and lay the foundations of a sustainable LBS ecosystem.
In an environment where consumers are already getting used to free LBS – finding business models and practices that can deliver real revenue is both your biggest challenge and your biggest opportunity.
