Nokia has announced details of a planned event to coincide with the 2010 Mobile World Congress (MWC) taking place in Barcelona.  As an alternative to the noise and crowds at Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, invited guests can relax on comfy sofas, enjoy delicious food and drinks as they discuss the industry and network with their peers — all courtesy of Nokia.

From Nokia...

In Barcelona our goal is to create an atmosphere designed to encourage conversations among industry peers. In this comfortable setting you will relax as you learn more about Nokia solutions and services. The event will take place a short walk from the Mobile World Congress at Once - home of the Spanish National Organization for the Blind. Join us between 09.00 - 19.00 on 15-16 February.

Connecting people has always been at the heart of the Nokia brand. Connecting people means giving everyone the power to choose when and how to stay in touch with the things that matter most in their lives, so that they can make the most out of every moment.

Imagine an entire planet where people, places and information are seamlessly connected; where communications devices and services are such an integral and indispensable part of our lives that they really do become second nature.

Making this world come true will require tremendous collaboration between industry players. That’s why we’re proud to offer the collaborative environment of the Nokia lounge.
