Lisa Peterson, director of mobile solutions, Neustar, moderates a panel on Location-Based Services in 2012, addressing questions such as "Apps stores are pretty cluttered, but are they driving the awareness of and market growth of LBS?" and "If navigation and other bundled LBS services are going to a free model by Google and others, how does that affect the LBS market? Smaller companies affected? How can they monetize this?" Speakers include Ted Babitz, director, business development, xAd, and Darius Paczuski, vice president of Marketing, Telenav.

Other panels address Big Money in Enterprise and Government Markets, New Platforms and Technology, and a Worldwide Telematics Market Update: the Connected Vehicle Market.
