The Location Intelligence Conference brings together business leaders to discuss how to generate revenue, cut costs, improve workflow efficiency and gain competitive advantage by implementing location-related technology solutions within their organizations. The event therefore seeks to provide an educational forum to discuss the integration of location technology and business intelligence for enterprise computing.
The Location Intelligence Conference attracts decision makers from organizations whose business depends on knowing where customers, clients, prospects, employees and assets are located. They are concerned with business processes related to field service and asset management, site selection, target marketing, and market research. They have an immediate need to understand how mobile and wireless devices, Internet mapping, location-based gaming, RFID, sensor technology, geocoding, and satellite imagery may help their business succeed.
The conference was started by Directions Magazine and the conference Chairman has been the publication's editor, Joe Francica, since its inception.
