The Nokia OpenLab event has just wrapped up in Helsinki, Finland. This is the event I was invited to, and previously referred to as the WOM World Nokia Workshop. For the last couple of days, about 35 people from all over the world gathered at the Klauk K Hotel in the Finnish capital, all guests of the mobile phone giant. This was the first time Nokia has brought together such a group of people, and they have indicated they plan on similar events in the future.

Most everybody in attendance is involved in social media to some extent, as this was how they were found and invited by Nokia. Where that was the case, there was no common profile of any attendee, except for everyone was eager to participate and had a great respect for one another.

It was an amazing couple of days with some thoughtful and exciting people with great conversations all around. I will write more on this upon my return, and will probably start on the flight home.
