Looking ahead to SEE 2009 (the annual Symbian smartphone show)

Looking forward to seeing you guys there!:icon14:

"Interestingly, there's no single Nokia stand - but you'll find Nokia on a number of other stands, helping out and showing hardware."
According to link in the article Nokia has a stand - stand number 13.

You guys in Europe are lucky :) We don't get anything fun like this in Australia :(

No, that's Forum Nokia..... It does get confusing, Nokia has fingers in so many pies 8-)

the registration form looks very business orrientated do u need to be part of a business to get in or can u generate a false business name etc

Steve, I think you're missing part of the point with the difference between SEE and Smartphone Show. This time it's not only about us (Symbian) and our corporate members announcing news, it's just as much about the community getting a chance to meet us and influence where we are going.

Something new that I think has gotten too little press is the BoF sessions: http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/in...Fs_at_SEE_2009

These BoFs are open for anyone to come and attend. Shout at a package owner for not implementing something that should have been there 4 years ago, suggest new features, try things that are in the lab, tell us why feature X is so much better in Android, discuss where we should be going, etc.

The list is far from complete at the moment, but I think this could be one of the more interesting parts of SEE2009.

Oh, anyone can get in - honest! If the form insists on a company name and you don't want to put your employer, just put in your name again?

As this event is being held at Earls Court, it virtually IS Australia, in everything but location.

Thanks for the BoF plug - well, I guess you already covered it. BoF wasn't even mentioned, as far as I saw, on any of your SEE leaflets/web pages, so you can't blame me for not knowing about it. Maybe you could tell the event organisers?

Looking forward to the AAS pub meet!

Hopefully the BoFs will be good. I'm actually involved with the multimedia one, so if you're a developer interested in the internals of Symbian's multimedia systems please swing by and say hello!

Signed up. Hope to put some faces to names...

Hopefully we'll see more of what SF^2 is actually about in real terms (if anything other than S60v5 ;)).

I'd heard that said of Earl's Court, but when we stayed there (and exhibited at the show last year -- you can see us on the left of the first show floor photo :) ) we didn't see a single fellow Australian (well, around Earl's Court, anyway). Or maybe they'd all become pale and completely Londonish. ;)

I think the place has moved on from that reputation. There were more Filipinos there last year.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to enjoying the show without the pressure of having to exhibit.

This is my first time at SEE .. never been to Smartphone show..

Was clueless what to do there and this article is like hitting a jackpot !

I own you guys a beer :D
