iBlog3: The 3rd Philippine Blogging Summit


This morning, I catched up with the UP-ISP team, headed by Atty. JJ Disini, to prepare for iBlog3: The 3rd Philippine Blogging Summit. Details will be posted on the official website within the day.

We are aiming for up to 300 bloggers to attend the event.

In addition, we recognize the concerns last year about parallel break-out tracks that made a lot of participants miss important presentations. That is why iBlog3 shall be a 2-day event this year. This will be on April 13 and 14, 2007.

Like last year, I am in charge of the content, receive topic suggestions, accept speaking proposals, consolidate the topics, help out in the sponsorship, among others.

I will definitely make sure that I won't have any trainings again this time so I won't miss it.

iBlog3 is aimed at aspiring bloggers, newbies, and the maturing blogging community.

There will be topics for beginners, professional bloggers, legal concerns, political blogging, media and the use of blogs, literary, multimedia, education, and the growth of communities.

We will aim to get sponsors so we can serve great food, nice tokens, collaterals, giveaways, and have a bloggers party on the 1st day!

So mark your calendars and let all bloggers converge on April 13 and 14 at iBlog3: The 3rd Philippine Blogging Summit! As always, this event is FREE!

Ituloy AngSulong iBlog3!
