Wireless pioneer Andrew Seybold and Kanwar Chada, founder of SiRF Technology, will select the finalists for the People's Choice awards for best location innovation at the 2010 Location & Beyond Summit on October 6. The event focuses on the "transformative effects of connecting everything and everyone, everyplace."

The four-year-old summit — formerly Location 2.0 — will be held at the St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco during the CTIA Wireless Enterprise and Applications 2010 conference.

The People's Choice Awards — selected by the audience after the finalists do five-minute "Fast-Pitch" presentations — are a high point of this one-day annual event.

The awards recognizes innovative connected-location products, services, applications or technologies in beta or available on the market today. Finalists are selected in three categories: Connected Location Device, Location Application, and Location Everywhere Solution.

Fast-Pitch submissions are being accepted until September 6, 2010 online. There is no fee to enter.

Everyone is invited to submit ideas for the Fast-Pitch presentations and People's Choice awards. However, attendance at summit events is by invitation only in order to encourage dialogue among all participants in an intimate setting. You may request an invitation at the website below.

SIRF Technologies started the summit, then called Location 2.0, in 2007. SIRF merged with CSR plc (Cambridge Silicon Radio), a UK-based company, in 2009. CSR develops multifunction location and connectivity products, including the SIRFstar GNSS line for location-enabled mobile devices.
