REGISTER NOW for iBlog7: The 7th Philipping Blogging Summit.
iBlog7 has a great lineup of topics and speakers, so you wouldn’t want to miss it. I wonder if they’ll be doing a livestream of the event? I’m sure those bloggers who couldn’t attend would like that. Btw, anyone notice the brand new logo iBlog logo? It’s looks livelier and definitely much better than the old logo.
Blogging events such as these depend on the help of generous sponsors so if you or your company is interested in sponsoring this event, check out the iBlog7 Sponsorship Packages.
NOTE: The first 250 persons who register will be given food stubs and event kits so if you decide to attend iBlog7, make it a point to register early. Btw, the remaining food stubs and kits will be handed out to early walk-ins.
Anyone already registered or planning on attending iBlog7: The 7th Philippine Blogging Summit? Which particular topics and/or speakers are you interested to hear the most?
@JeffZ – You’re welcome! If you’re in the area and are available, then you really shouldn’t miss these types of events. It’s a great opportunity to learn, meet/make friends and also to expand your network. Have fun!
thanks for sharing! I’m blocking April 2 for this event.. :) will be the first time to attend. I hope to meet the bloggers that I only get to talk to through comments! :) It would be a good idea to meet eye-to-eye and share thoughts..
I’d like to know more about making money out of blogging.. I think it really would make sense especially for those who blog for a long time.. :)
@John – Ohh..kasimanwa gali. Stayed in Bacolod for 6 years and finished college there. :D
I’m from Bacolod City sir. :)
@John – Oh I see. It’s all good. There’s always next time. Btw, which province are you from? :)
@ Sir Jaypee
Well not really,I am actually in the province and is a bit on the tight end of the budget..:D
@John – Why aren’t you attending iBlog7? Are you gonna be busy or out of the country? :)
Another blogging event that I’m gonna miss..:(.. Hopefully I’ll be around next year.
