The Symbian Foundation has announced that the Symbian Smartphone Show The Symbian Exchange & Exposition (with the name change, the acronym is now the friendlier SEE 2009) will be taking place on 27-28 October 2009 at Earls Court 2, London. More details below, plus you can expect an All About Symbian meet up on the evening of the 26th, venue to be arranged.

As usual, the show will be the premier point of meeting for everyone in the Symbian ecosystem. 

Here's the rough outline, currently highlighted by Symbian Foundation:

Exchange

There's an Ideas Exchange on each day of SEE 2009. Community members get together to talk, promote their ideas and drive development together through conversation.

Visionaries

SEE 2009 is an informal 'unconference' in which everyone participates, but there'll also be talks from leading minds and industry experts.

Dialogue

SEE 2009 is the forum for people to talk - in the exhibition hall – on the online networking site – at the event lounges and during three separate discussions offering in-depth workshops:

• Application development
• Contributor & Ecosystem outlook
• Marketing & Business models
