The Where Fair is a science fair-style event that gives participants a first-hand look at just a few of the intriguing location-aware technologies lurking just below the radar. Fair-goers can discuss the ideas behind the demos with the creators, and learn how these unconventional new technologies can be adapted into existing business strategies. Where Fair projects are being selected from research, academia, and yet-to-be-discovered entrepreneurs. The Where Fair complements the conference's exhibit hall, which will showcase state-of-the-art systems, apps, and services in the location space.
