Did Nokia invite at least some of the N-Gens working for the company there? <BR/><BR/>Or was it more of a corporate hierarchy based list?Suryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16244950142476574673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16862808.post-55616475273017399262007-12-13T07:49:00.000-08:002007-12-13T07:49:00.000-08:00Thanks for that Martin and the for LinkedIn.

Seems like you've got an interesting role, so yes let's catch up for a coffee and a chat about this topic before long. <BR/>Cheers<BR/>StephenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17310193324855338868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16862808.post-66707824781575393272007-12-13T04:45:00.000-08:002007-12-13T04:45:00.000-08:00Stephen,Unfortunately 2007 was the first Nokia ann...Stephen,<BR/>Unfortunately 2007 was the first Nokia annual event I've not made for the last 4 years. I was hoping to catch up with you there. I have several thoughts on how to present Innovation. Maybe catchup in London or Farnborough at some point next year... br MartinMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04798305094831827203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16862808.post-59945930935909528082007-12-09T07:25:00.000-08:002007-12-09T07:25:00.000-08:00Thanks Stefan for as ever pulling no punches. For ...Thanks Stefan for as ever pulling no punches. For the record, it wasn't 4x1hr talks it was 3 30min presos with Q&A and a 30min session prizegiving and demo session. But I do agree that more and shorter (a la TED) would make sense, and have videos available after for more sessions would make sense (that was discussed, and could be revisited next year). <BR/>And yes, the Expo Hall was great - even for me, I saw some new stuff. <BR/>Jukka - all genuine. I think the MWS is one of our coolest innovations and funnily enough have been chatting with someone in Southwood about using it for some pretty cool identity-related concepts - let's continue offblog, am in Helsinki later this week.<BR/>StephenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17310193324855338868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16862808.post-51495763002826612692007-12-09T00:21:00.000-08:002007-12-09T00:21:00.000-08:00Thanks for mentioning Mobile Web Server, it was a ...Thanks for mentioning Mobile Web Server, it was a fun event to be and we got really good feedback (see http://blogs.s60.com/mws/2007/12/nokia_world_2007_afterthoughts_1.html). Good to hear your ideas, since I've been wondering about the same things. But we live and learn, like you said :)Mulkkuisähttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02794662814883324445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16862808.post-25392575009549957162007-12-08T15:38:00.000-08:002007-12-08T15:38:00.000-08:00This was my first Nokia World and to be frank, I w...This was my first Nokia World and to be frank, I wasn't impressed. If it wasn't for the amazing people I met and the great conversations I was having in the hall then the entire event would have been a bust.<BR/><BR/>The content was bland, too drawn out, too much fluff as you've said. I don't understand why the innovation track was limited to 4 one hour talks.<BR/><BR/>I would have much preferred 8 30 minute talks or even 16 15 minute talks. When you put that kind of restraint on presenters then it forces them to think differently and to get to the point faster.<BR/><BR/>At the end of that "Innovation in UI" speech I simply left because all that guy did was waste our time. You don't invite the man who leads user interaction design at Nokia to tell a juvenile story about a woman named Anna and how her camera phone is all seeing and all powerful.<BR/><BR/>None of the innovation streams were archived and posted on the net either, all we have are the keynotes and capital market day speeches.<BR/><BR/>You could tell the event was not geared for people like me. It felt like a giant business meeting with everyone in suits drudging along going from panel to panel where they spent 40 minutes with their head buried in their laptop and a total of 10 or so minutes popping their head up to see what was going on.<BR/><BR/>I'll say it again, the conversations in the hall and outside of the event saved Nokia World for me. If it wasn't for all the interesting people I sat down with and the less than stellar expo hall than Nokia World would have been a Grade A waste of my time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
