A Few Conferences Before Christmas (Nokia World and Le Web)

So next week I’m off again, with a three night trip over to Amsterdam to attend Nokia World, the Finnish companies chance to show off to a conference of delegates and press. I’ll be covering the event, as always, for All About Symbian. Expect a bumper bundle of podcasts and editorial, and I might even turn my hand to some video coverage as well.

The week after that is, of course, Le Web 3. You might recall that I had some strong opinions on this event after last year’s programming decisions. After talking to Loic Le Meur (the organiser) in San Francisco while I was over in September this year, I’ve been (partially…) placated on the event, although I was still hesitant to head over.

But there’s enough people to see, and friendships to make (and reinforce) to make it a good each way bet, even if the speaker list looks remarkably similar to last years program – of course that wasn’t the program that we saw – and it always helps deciding on my attendance if someone gives me a writing commission to head on over, which is the case for Le Web.

So if you’re at either of these events, keep an eye out and say hello!
