Blog­camp 2006 is hap­pen­ing at Tidel Park in Chen­nai on Sept 9–10, a two day packed event that is bound to be infor­ma­tive, fun and will have loads of inter­ac­tion, which is exactly what you’d expect from an event involv­ing bloggers.

Here’s a clip from the web­site: “Blog­camp hopes to pro­vide a forum where blog­gers can share their sto­ries and be inspired by inno­v­a­tive and suc­cess­ful blog­ging expe­ri­ences. In the spirit of blog­ging and no-barriers inter­ac­tion, the two-day event will be in an uncon­fer­ence mode.”

The list of top­ics is quite inter­est­ing and includes:
Con­ver­sa­tion and the Pub­lic Nature of the Medium
Dis­as­ter Relief blog­ging
Seri­ous Blog­ging can change the face of Con­ven­tional Jour­nal­ism
Group Blog­ging strate­gies
Pro­fes­sional Blog­ging
Intranet Blog­ging: The Secret World Behind the Fire­wall
Human Atten­tion and The Future of Blog­ging
Blog­ging for a Global Audience

These are just a few I ran­domly picked up. The com­plete list is here.

The orga­niz­ers and vol­un­teers have gone to a lot of trou­ble to get this whole ‘uncon­fer­ence’ hap­pen­ing and it will prob­a­bly be the largest ever of its kind in India. They roped in a few well-known spon­sors, includ­ing Yahoo! India and Nokia, Intel, Ford etc. I know sev­eral blog­gers from Ban­ga­lore are already plan­ning to be there in Chen­nai for the occasion.

Unfor­tu­nately, I won’t be able to make it. Though I would have loved to meet a whole galaxy of blog­gers I haven’t met before. But I will be actively fol­low­ing it online.
