Next Philippine Blogging Summit?

A handful of bloggers have been asking me when will the next Blogging Summit (or BlogCon) be held here in the Philippines. “I actually don’t know”, is all I can say. I just attend them or do some speaking engagements but to the point of organizing one, not quite there yet.

Yes, it’s possible, and I may have the time and connections to organize one but… um… we’ll see.

Things to consider when contemplating of doing one — a core group (the more, the manier) to handle logistics and stuff, the agenda, the program, the target audience or attendees and of course, the budget.

I’ve been notified and invited to guest/speak on a couple of smaller but more focused blog conferences this year so let’s just wait and see if there’s another group/organization out there interested in doing it on a much larger scale.

@ jayvee

Hey thanks! Cge, we’ll try and see pano ma organize to.

@ mel

It was actually discussed by JJ Disini in the last blog summit, including copyrighted materials such as image, photos, mp3s and song chords/lyrics that are posted in blogs. I’m sure this topic will crop up in the next blogcon.
