About Luigi Cappel
Upcoming: I very much enjoyed presenting at the Parking Association Conference recently. Now looking forward to presenting at the Freight Management Conference in Auckland, New Zealand in February.
I work for GeoSmart Maps and am involved in all sorts of projects from car navigation to fleet management, business intelligence, route optimisation, maps and web mapping API’s for web sites and mobile phones.
I’m a futurist (member of the World Future Society) and have been involved in many firsts including the introduction of EFTPOS, Retail Side Scanning, Mobile email, PDA’s with scanners and touch screens for couriers and much more. I am also Director and songwriter for Cappel Songwriting Limited.
I love technology both for itself and for its ability to help people work and play smarter rather than harder.
I am the author of Unleashing the Road Warrior and have written for many magazines and publications as well as technology white papers. I have over the years held positions including President of the NZ Wireless Forum, Vice President of the NZ Sales & Marketing Institute, President of the Glenfield Music Centre, President of Auckland Landyacht Club and run my own businesses including Mission Control (A wireless computing consultancy) and the NZ Smartphone & PDA Academy.
I have chaired and spoken at ITC industry conferences from Paris to Johannesburg to Auckland New Zealand and many more.
I’m exploring things like location based proximity marketing, location based applications, game mechanics and pretty much anything that takes my fancy. I enjoy writing and have an opinion on most things:)
You will find my songs on lots of websites, mostly for free, so get in quick before I am famous and they cost much more. If you are an artist looking for a song, give me a yell. I had a podcast called A Kiwi Songwriter (now suffering from podfade) and an infrequent blog about Songwriting. You will also find me on Twitter and LinkedIn. I have also recently set up to Scoop.it pages The Song Writer and Location is Everywhere.
