NEXT EVENT: Monday 14th September - Location! Location! Location!

GPS has become near mandatory on new handsets and the new iPhone 3GS even has an inbuilt compass! The future of mobile is the Internet in your hand, but what if the Internet knew exactly where you were at any given time?

Knowing where you are and customising services and messages to your exact location is the dream of many marketers and application developers the world over. From being lost in New York at lunch time and finding that the best Flafel you've ever had is just down the road from you (Yelp) to knowing where your friends are at any given time just by pushing a butting (Google Latitude) LBS is pushing forward new boundaries and stretching the imagination. This month we invite big brand names and seasoned experts to our panel to discuss LBS or "Location Based Services", some say the holy grail of mobile,

We will be asking our panel what is this the reality of LBS today? Where are we now and where will we be in 5 years time, how does LBS actually work and how can you integrate it into your services? We will explore the opportunities this incredible technology presents as well as the darker side of privacy concerns, covering who's doing what, from iPhone apps to Smart Maps, and everything in between.

We welcome our LBS gurus for the evening:

Mark White of Locatrix

Mark is the founder & CEO of Locatrix Communications. A well-known mobile guy, he's been a speaker at GSMA conferences in Barcelona and Macau, and has twenty years experience in the telecommunications and computer industries in a whole bunch of countries. Not a bad bloke to have a beer with

Brent Stafford of Navteq

Brent is not stranger to LBS and has worked worked in various technology and executive positions in the fields of car navigation, location based services, geographic information systems, hydrographic services, transport policy, business development, strategic planning, He has written and presented many papers to national and international audiences and parliamentary committees on these topics.
