That’s great! I hope to attend this year’s summit. Missed last year due to work.
Oh and send me over details on the sponsorship, I’ll see what I can do, thanks!
Thank you Peter for the interest. Please expect me to email you about the package. See you on April 18!
sure hope to make it . . . keep it up
Hi! I am hoping that I can attend the summit.
I am interested in the topic:Legal
Blogging Panel and Blogging as a Tool in Teaching.
Hi Antonate. That will be great. See you on April 18!
Hi! I am interested in joining your summit (I am actually even planning to skip work for this). I am no professional blogger, but I do post a lot on my personal site.
Is this summit free for all? Do I have to register somewhere?
Hope to hear from you! Thank you!
Hi Miss Che!
The registration page is in here
http://iblogph.org/wp/?page_id=66
and yes the blogging summit is absolutely free so be there a little early!
Hi. Could you please tell me where I can get the summit’s transcripts/documentation afterwards? I’m interested in the political blogging track in particular (my research is on this). Thanks very much.
Hi! I’m also interested in joining the summit, although i’m a complete newbie — no blogs, no personal site, nada.
I do want to learn and maybe setup a blog before this June.
Hi Cyrus. Just register and feel free to attend the summit.
Carla, what will be posted is the podcast of the event that you can download and listen to from there.
I’m wondering if there’s an age limit for attendees? I mean, i feel like most of the attendees would be people around their 20s to 30s, and I’m just 16. >
lanzce,
you’re very welcome. one reason it’s held during summer is so that students can attend. last year, i believe there was someone younger than you.
Carla, we’ll be documenting the event via podcast/audioblog.
HI! I hope you can have another blogging summit next year (or sooner) to be held somewhere else in the country. I’m sure a lot fo bloggers from Visayas and Mindanao are interested to join but do not have the resources to go to Manila. I’m from Davao by the way.
