And In A Change To Our Scheduled Programming …

For a variety of reasons I’m sadly not going to be speaking at this year’s Telematics event in Detroit in a few week’s time and neither will I be at State of the Map.

The variety of reasons are both personal and based on my departure from Yahoo! at the end of this week and that the Telematics conference is coincident with my first week with [redacted]; I don’t yet have a clearly articulated story with regards to [redacted] and I don’t just want to retread the Yahoo! location and place story.

However I do plan to be speaking at the Location Business Summit USA in San Jose in September and in the same month I’ll be chairing the first w3gconf in the UK. All of which provides ample scope for a modicum of geotasticness.

   Although it’s a sweeping generalisation, conferences tend to polarise to one of two extremes. On the one extreme, there’s the lecture approach, where the audience sits in quiet appreciation whilst...

   To paraphrase both Douglas Copland and The Smiths, Geomob, the highly successful mobile/geo/location/place fuelled meetup for geographers, both latent and professional is on hold. Possibly permanently. As Chris Osborne, the...
