Like the previous events, iBlog8 has a great lineup of speakers and topics so make sure you get to attend the 2-day event or even at least one of them. The iBlog organizers are still looking for businesses or individuals who would like to sponsor the event. Interested parties can check the different sponsorship packages on this post. I’m not sure if they did it last year but I do hope they would do a live stream of the event for people who can’t make it to the event. Anyways, all the best to the organizers, speakers and participants of iBlog8: the 8th Philippine Blogging Summit.

    As a newbie blogger, I would like to know more about blogging especially on writing great and effective posts. However, I just couldn’t attend this event. :(

    1. @James – Any blogger would learn a lot from these types of blogging events. Another valuable thing you get from it is being able to connect and network with other bloggers and companies. Btw, why can’t you attend this event?
