Exclusive Event: Searching for the Location Gold Mine

The investment into the next generation of location and augmented reality applications is as big as the buzz around them. Novel and clever applications are appearing that connect the applications environment into the vast pool of content on the web. While we see amazing apps and demonstrations, investors are still not seeing compelling revenue models. Today, at 9:30 a.m. (PST), a select group of about 75 entrepreneurs, investors and technologists will gather at the GigaOM offices to debate how we will monetize location and AR services. To watch a livestream of the event and access post-event analysis from GigaOM Pro contributors, log in or subscribe now.
