Ignite Where
summary
Fast, scripted five-minute talks run on 20 slides 15 seconds each, then a half-hour startup blitz with 12 startups one minute pitches competing for the North American LBS award. Sessions span crisis mapping (Ushahidi and OpenStreetMap in Haiti used on GPS units to guide search‑and‑rescue), mobile web vs native (web app deployed in 45 minutes), an open AR SDK, civic open‑data business models, mobile UX for specific places, and quick case studies that either saved lives or failed to scale.
