iBlog: The 15th Philippine Blogging Summit #iblog15

iBlog3: the 3rd Philippine Blogging Summit will be held at the School of Economics Auditorium, in UP Diliman, Quezon City this April 13 and 14, 2007. This event is organized by the University of the Philippines – Internet Society Program.

We’d like to thank our major sponsor IPVG and Globe for supporting this event.

Registration, which will reserve your seats, stuff and schwag, and get you into our announcements mailing list, is now open.

We’ve got a full program of sessions and activities massive enough to cover two days (see listing below). And of course iBlog 3 is still FREE in the beer sense, as long as we can help it, free in the speech sense.

Thank you also to minor sponsors Google and Yehey, webcast/podcast sponsor eRadioPortal.com, and name badge sponsor Allfox Computer Center for supporting this event.
