It's a Small, Small World: How do Global and Local Events Impact
Your Business and Community - Local and global events directly
impact daily operations, regardless of where employees live and work.

global economy need a location-based strategy that includes being
aware of, and responding to, real-time events around the world to
ensure the safety of their community and workforce. This session to
will share best practices around creating a location-based strategy
and advice for implementing one that works.
-
Managing the World's Largest Events on a Local and Global Level - Large
sporting events, concerts and festivals are some of the most exciting
events to attend, but organizing, hosting and ensuring smooth and safe
delivery requires extensive preparation from a cross-functional team.
From the safety of all participants to optimal fan experience,
location-based intelligence isintegral to delivering the ultimate
event experience. This session will gather security and communications
professionals charged with managing some of the highest-profile events
around the country to talk about setting up and staffing command
centers with the right technologies and share the lessons they have
learned.
-
Social for a Smarter World: Using Location-Based Social Media in
Research - Social media is a means to understanding everything
from public sentiment, trending topics, top complaints, the
demographics of who talks about what (and where) and so much more.
Primary research can be hard to come by and focus groups can be
expensive and difficult to ensure the group fully represents the
opinion of the larger target population. Innovative organizations are
taking research to a new level with location-based information,
including social data, point of sale data and even weather patterns to
inform building design projects, hospital staffing and emergency
response planning. Many of the professionals leading this effort will
offer thoughts on insights that organizations can derive from their
data.
In addition to panels and sessions, Geofeedia will introduce the
company's certification program. This program will certify individuals
with exceptional knowledge, skills and expertise in location-based
intelligence best practices and the use of Geofeedia's platform to
predict, analyze and act on real-time location data.
Latitude 2016 takes place October 5-6, 2016 at the Navy Pier in Chicago,
