Could location technology make in-person experiences better? In my presentation, we'll explore how technology is radically transforming how people connect in real life. I'll share how we've built technology to help you easily communicate and navigate in congested spaces, even when cell networks are overloaded. 

I wish I could promise that you'll never have to wait in a queue again. I can't do that (yet). But I can walk you through how our technology is helping track queues and crowds at some of the world’s largest events. This means people don't have to wait forever to buy a drink, boosting spend per head on site. More importantly, it helps keep people safe. Of course, crowds can be inconvenient... but they can also be dangerous.
