If you have any questions about the presentations, before or after the event, please comment to this article.

Attending a great conference or training session is a lot like trying to drink from a fire hose. There is way more information available than you can possibly absorb during the event, and you meet more people than you can possibly remember. Over the years I have learned some tricks so when I return to my office I can associate the stack of business cards with specific people and conversations, but I am almost always left with at least one card I can not identify, and at least one discussion that I can not quite figure out how to pursue.

That is where this blog comes in: it will will help you continue the conversations you start with Forum Nokia at conferences, trade shows, and even webinars. We made it easy for you:

• We established an easy-to-remember URL www.forum.nokia.com/continue so the blog is easy to find. 
• The title of the articles will be the same as the event you attended. (That is unless the official event name is really long, then we will have to shorten it.)

If you have a comment or want to follow up on a topic you discussed at an event, find the article associated with your event. Some articles will direct you to one or more ongoing discussions in the Discussion Boards, others will invite you to post comments directly to the blog article. If you are trying to contact a Forum Nokia person you met at the event, let us know and we will try to connect you.

Forum Nokia sponsors and participates in more events that we could possibly blog about here. If you do not see your event listed, go ahead and post a comment to any article in this blog. Please let us know the name, date, and location of the event you attended, and what conversation you want to resume. We will connect you with the right resource.
