A scavenger hunt for the new millennium and disaster preparedness are two new additions to Where 2.0, a juxtaposition illustrating just how pervasive location-aware technology is becoming in our lives:

Program co-chair Brady Forrest has all the deets about Pixie Hunt, a game organized for Where 2.0 participants. Teams use cameraphones, Flickr, SMS, and geotagging to add a whole new level of fun to the scavenger hunt we played at summer sleepovers back in the day.

Our new Where 2.0 closing keynote, Cartography Commando Style, FEMA’s Field GIS, will be delivered by Ron Langhelm of the US Department of Homeland Security.

This talk will provide a vision into the emergency management/geospatial support setting, looking at the work area, staffing issues, unique customer base, urgent product requirements, and FEMA’s plans for future geospatial support.

Ought to be a corker. If you haven’t seen the Where 2.0 Conference schedule lately, I encourage you to look it over–it’s a diverse program, well stocked with eye *and* brain candy.
