Will you be at SXSW this year? We’re looking forward to seeing you there! There’s a lot to talk about. Look for a big announcement from us from the main stage of the conference on the 11th of March!

First thing’s first: Dinosaur USB Drives!

We’ll be handing out 400 Dinosaur USB drives with the Geoloqi SDKs for iPhone and Android on them. If you see any of us at a party or at the conference, ask us for one!

Meet the Geoloqi Team at SXSW!

Half the Geoloqi team will be with us at SXSW! If you see any of us, ask for a Loqisaur USB drive, or talk to us about location. We’re all quite friendly!

Amber Case, Co-Founder and CEO

I’ll be giving a keynote speech at this year’s SXSW conference in Austin, Texas! I’ll be doing an extended version of a talk on cyborg anthropology and the future of the interface, and will then go into what we’ve been doing at Geoloqi, and well as some major partnership announcements.

If you’re interested in the future of humans and technology, and the future of location, it should be an interesting speech! Lots of new things to talk about. Hope to see you there!
