It will be held at the Figueroa Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, June 14, 2010, the day the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) opens its doors at the LA Convention Center.

Ronald Azuma, Research Leader, Nokia Research Center Hollywood will deliver a keynote presentation on the future of mobile media and entertainment. At Nokia, Ronald leads a team that is exploring the question: What are new forms of compelling media that take advantage of the strengths of mobile devices? In Dec. 2009, his team built and performed The Westwood Experience, our first exploration into location-based experiences. This is a new form of mobile entertainment that blends a compelling story with physical locations augmented with digital content.
