The economically ruinous and much overrated volcanic ash cloud dissipated and the "thewherebusiness Location Summit" in Amsterdam is on schedule and taking place with a full compliment of delegates and speakers in attendance. (28-29 April)

Warren Venter our CEO arrived on the 27th April to represent Waytag at our first international conference. The conference is being focused on “Powerful profit strategies to monetise location based services and data” and is sold as Europe's largest LBS conference.

Most of the major European and Global leaders in LBS are attending such as Google, Nokia, Vodafone, TomTom, Mapit, Teleatlas, BBC, T-Mobile, Microsft Advertising, Yahoo, and more than 50 Speakers so we look forward to 2 days of valuable networking and getting up to date with current information and strategies for the very busy LBS market.

Warren is also likely to hook up with 2 local South African companies attending : Mapit, a SA subsidiary of Tele Atlas and Hummba an associate of our very own Silicon Cape.

I look forward to catching up with Warren after the conference and will hopefully have some info that will be of interest to everyone at Silicon Cape interested in the Location market.

Hi to Michael Struwig and Sophia Karalis. Thanks for joining the "Location (cubed) group. We look forward to lots of stimulating and informed discussions, questions and suggestions in this group. "Location" has a huge buzz which is still gathering momentum all over the world so it would be useful for those of us who have an interest in this space to keep the Silicon Cape Forum up to speed with whats happening locally and internationally. I look forward to your contribution. Cheers. Peter McFall

Mark Allewell & his associates from hummba.com on their recently announced multimillion rand media deal. Well done ! We need to see a lot more of these kind of deals coming out of SA and Silicon cape in particular. We wish you all well and will follow your progress with interest and anticipation of even greater achievements.

Hi Phil & Aidan. Thanks for joining the Location x3 group. I am hoping that we are able to stimulate some interesting discussions here around "location" in the mobile & web environment. I would also like to generate some traffic on the unlimited number of useful and interesting applications that need to be written using locaton as the focal point.Every aspect of our lives and all industries draws on location navigation and location based services to some extent so the canvas is unlimited.
