Forum Nokia Developer Conference 09, INDIA - Infinite Possibilities
The stadium is jam packed....BANG!
and what an event! 
Today I had a chance to attend this event at the software capital of India, Bangalore. The event was held at Taj Residency in the heart of the city (very good location, great arrangements). The event witnessed overwhelming response by a good number of developing companies, individual developers, operator leaders, Nokia and Symbian leaders. The crowd seemed to go above 400 in number. The first such event in India, focussed on the developer community and development oppurtunities. However, it also covered a variety of interesting keynotes from ellite speakers, amongst which were Mobile value added services (MVAS), Location based services (LBS), Mobile widgets, emerging markets, trends in mobile OS development, smartphone evolution, etc. Not to forget Technology Showcase where successful developers presented their applications and future roadmaps.
The Forum Nokia team organising the event showed high hospitability towards the participants. The technical guys, Balagopal NKnair and Nitin Srivastava, were busy discussing and sharing their technical expertise with the crowd. Shiraz Datta was also very friendly and discussed development oppurtunities with the participants.
It was quite a good time for me to network with some great people including some developers from other technologies and Forum Nokia Champions, whom I had never meet before. Special thanks to Mr. Prakash Sayini and Mr. Santosh Ostwal for sharing their personal career experiences and words of advice to students after the wind up. Last but not the least, the special memorable dinner with fellow Forum Nokia Champions and Forum Nokia Team before winding up. Also great thanks to Nicholas Foo, Technical leader for the Forum Nokia, APAC, for sharing the story of evolution of Forum Nokia with us at the dinner.
Like mentioned at the event, the presentations should be available at the event site soon.
Well done Forum Nokia...
So where is the next one?
Cheers,

Hello pankaj I guess you forget one more important highlight of the event which also attracted most of the people i.e. the application demonstration by our prof kiran trivedi and his students. The stall hosted by prof kiran attracted most of the delegates which included Mr.kenny Mathers head apac forum nokia, Nicholas Foo Team leader forum nokia APAC We got lots of good comment for the application and at the last but not the least kiran trivedi sir for his great involvment in forum nokia activites got a token of appreciation from Mr kenny Mathers where they named kiran sir as ambassador of the year. Congrats sir:) One more thing, the details of all applications will be published soon on the homepage of mobapps.org.
