<p>> Let us know if you have any specific proposal.</p>
<p>I think having a Maemo presence at E3 (<a href="http://www.e3expo.com/">http://www.e3expo.com/</a>) would be something to be considered -- this is an electronic entertainment show, heavily weighted on entertainment... We're talking thousands of people to see Maemo/IT exposure. Just having a booth would be quite a big deal.</p>
<p>I've worked E3 about four times, I think -- it's constant visitor excitement from morning to night. People can buuy directly from booths a lot of times too. This may be more of a "Nokia" thing, but I think the public would be awed by Maemo.</p>
<p>On another note, two others that I didn't mention before might be: SXSW (<a href="http://sxsw.com/">http://sxsw.com/</a>) & SIGGRAPH (<a href="http://www.siggraph.org/">http://www.siggraph.org/</a>).</p>

Forgot to comment on this one.<br />
<br />
... why not, we can consider this case by case. There are technical<br />
events, there are business shows, many degrees in between and all of<br />
them get some kind of Nokia presence. In some cases it might make sense,<br />
in some cases it might not.<br />
<br />
Let us know if you have any specific proposal.<br />
