Save the Date for LI 2009...Oct. 5-7, Westminster CO

More information will be forthcoming but we ask you to "save the date" for the Location Intelligence Conference 2009.We'll be at the Westin Westminster Hotel in Westminster, Colorado, just outside of Denver toward Boulder from Oct. 5-7. Topics for your consideration:

• How do retailers prepare for natural disasters (think: Wal-mart and Katrina)?
• Will the financial crisis lead to new site selection strategies for retail bankers? (think: relocation and closing retail banks...where to go?)
• Where will the mortgage crisis affect economic development (think: Florida where 29% of houses are facing negative equity. See New York Times)?
• Is location-based advertising a solution in search of a mobile device?
• Will the decennial census truly yield sufficient demographic data for marketers? (Think: American Community Survey...will it work?)
• Insurance and re-insurance...How do you define risk these days?
• What kind of location intelligence do you need about your competitors?

And we'll certainly talk about technology:

• Data warehouse appliances burst on the scene...a replacement for spatial databases?
• BI...have the BI vendors bought into LI yet?
• Platforms and portfolios...software vendors want to bundle you up. (see our podcast from yesterday)
• Satellites and imagery...do we really need .25m data? What realtors and real estate developers really want.
