Tyler,

John Scott and Chris Tucker are helping to organize the event and they are going to work us in.  I previously cc'd them on a failed posting attempt.

A couple success events we've run this past year included taking care of running an open source track at events like this.  That's a key role a few of us could help play I suspect.

p.s. Didn't see anyone cc'd, just in case you forgot.

We need to get wired into this.

John and Chris, we are in the process of forming a northamerica chapter for OSGeo which will focus on conferences.  I'd like to see how we can participate.

Mark

WhereCon was established to satisfy the growing desire for a new dialogue on the synergies location-enabled and place-based streams of activity are bringing to historically stove-piped public and private sector domains.

HEAR SPEAKERS FROM THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR DISCUSS THESE TOPICS
• Engaging the World through Foreign Affairs and Public Diplomacy
• Where does the SmartGrid think it is
• Locating Broadband and the Digital Divide
• Empowering the Mobile Workforce with Location Services
• Location Privacy
• GEOINT 3.0, the Future Framework of National Security
• Open Source Geospatial Technology and Cloud Computing
• Putting Policy on the Map
• Mapping the Mortgage Crisis
• Power to the People – Crowd Sourcing Geo-Democracy
• Geospatial Data and Enforcing Cap and Trade
• Public/Private Partnerships in Mapping Critical Infrastructure
• Place-Based Justice and Public Safety
• Collaborating for Healthy Ecosystems

The question of “Where?” is increasingly becoming the organizing principal for how public and private sector enterprises get their jobs done. WhereCon will cultivate the emerging community of leaders, thinkers and practitioners who are struggling with the changes posed by the emerging “location-awareness” that portends great change for the public policy, private enterprise, technology and strategy – regardless of the sector from which they hail.

WhereCon is a two and a half day conference seeking to attract a broad cross-section of industry leaders, federal, state and local government employees, contractors, vendors and public policy professionals from think tanks and NGOs. WhereCon consolidates the blinding array of conversations about the “power of place” going on across the public and private sector, enabling this community to better enjoy synergies only this forum can provide.
