HELSINKI, Finland – Nokia World is Nokia’s biggest annual event, where the company showcases its latest products, services, design and research innovations.

This year’s Nokia World is going to be extra special, because it will be held on Nokia’s very own home turf in Helsinki, Finland, on September 25-26.

Arranged since 2006, Nokia World brings together thousands of visitors, including journalists, analysts, operators, developers, partners and, of course, Nokia employees.

The speakers are crème de la crème of the mobile world: Nokia’s leaders, experts, partners and other stakeholders.

This is the very first time Nokia World is arranged in Finland. The timing could not be better, since Helsinki has the privilege to be designated as the World Design Capital for 2012. Nokia is one of the WDC 2012 partners, so it’s a natural way for Nokia to talk about its latest innovations.

Nokia World will be held in the Helsinki Exhibition & Convention Centre. The event is not open for public, but you can expect detailed reports from Nokia Conversations as well as our Finnish blog, Nokia Ääni.

The event website has been opened today.

Are any of our readers planning to attend Nokia World this year? What do you think about the location?

UPDATE 23.5.2012: We have made some changes to the format and date of Nokia World 2012. Instead of a single, large-scale event as we have had in years past, we will run a number of smaller, more intimate events with specific audiences in mind. The first of these will take place in Helsinki on September 5-6. Read the new posting here.
