Keynote presenters include:

Billy Beane, the Oakland A’s general manager and subject of the Academy Award Best Picture-nominee Moneyball, threw decades of conventional wisdom out the window and turned his small market team into major league contenders. Using advanced statistical analysis frowned on by scouts at the time, Beane signed players who were undervalued by the market but had a proven ability to get on base and score runs. The results are a benchmark in statistical analysis celebrated in sports and business alike. Hear Beane speak on these topics and relate how you can translate these successes to your business.

Scott Asplundh, CEO, Asplundh Tree Expert Co., will discuss how his company has leveraged the Telogis Platform to monitor, plan and adjust the usage of mobile resources and transform the way Asplundh does business.

Dave Cozzens, CEO, Telogis, will discuss the current state of the location-based services industry and how technology and application development are transforming industries and ushering in a new era of location intelligence.
