Thank you, Where 2.0

Juan Gonzalez

Vice President, Technology

Thank you to the O’Reilly’s team for inviting me to speak at Where 2.0. The execution of the conference was superb and every single detail was planned in advance.

While the line-up of fellow speakers was great, I believe at these events, there is just as much value in the networking that takes place. During the conference, there were plenty of opportunities to meet new people.

At PlanetEye, there has been a long tradition of research backing up everything we do, and we wanted to share a little bit of what we’ve learned from our journey building the site.

“Crawling the web for GeoData” was a quick summary of the many techniques that we have adopted at PlanetEye to create a valuable online travel planning service. As many people commented after the talk, the core technologies that we have developed are applicable in other spaces, and we are glad to be able to contribute to the geospatial community.

As I sit down to write these lines, my voice has faded almost completely, a sign of the many valuable conversations that took place. I’m looking forward to keep them going online.

   Any Chance we can get a slideshare of your presentation Juan? I’m sure everyone from where 2.0 and the web could benefit from it.
