NAVTEQ developer workshop, plenary session, final judging & awards for LBS Challenge North America at Where 2.0

NAVTEQ is serving as a Platinum sponsor of this year’s O’Reilly Where 2.0 Conference in San Jose (CA) and will host two sessions during the event:

Join us as we crown the 2010 NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge® winner for the North America region
In addition, NAVTEQ is hosting the final judging and awards for its annual LBS developer competition in conjunction with Where 2.0.



We are adding a few interesting angles to this seventh American edition of the Global LBS Challenge which takes place live on the main stage during Where 2.0 on March 30th:

  • You get to hear all twelve finalists make a one minute pitch of their location-based application and see what it takes to make it to the finals.
  • The audience gets to try to predict the winners through live SMS polling and see if they agree with the judges.
  • And lastly, you get to see who walks away with a share of a global prize pool valued at over $10 million in cash, data licenses and other prizes.

Awards Ceremony:
Date: Tuesday, March 30
Time: 8:00-8:30pm (following Ignite Where, Part 1)
Location: San Jose Marriott, Ballroom III-VI

The Awards Ceremony is open to all registered Where 2.0 attendees. Be sure to arrive early (before Ignite I which starts at 7pm) to get a good seat.

The NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge is a worldwide developer competition conducted by NAVTEQ Network for Developers™ (NN4D). Every year NN4D invites developers to build and submit original, pre-commercialized applications using dynamic positioning technology and NAVTEQ® maps.
