Street Fight Summit: Debunking Location Inaccuracies

Recently, we had the opportunity to attend Street Fight’s annual Street Fight Summit in New York City as gold sponsors. The conference, which occurred from June 12-14, focuses on all things hyper local marketing.

MapQuest was on hand to promote our newly acquired SocialRadar point of interest (POI) dataset, as well as hand out awesome swag: t-shirts, water bottles, stickers and more. Word on the street is that we have some pretty killer swag.

Our Director of Business Development & Product – SocialRadar, Philippe Chetrit, also presented on the current pitfalls facing the location industry.

If you’re interested in learning about why low-fidelity points of interest data won’t cut it anymore, how SocialRadar debunks common location industry myths and why it matters for marketing professionals, check out his presentation here.
