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.â€
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.
umm.. its 9th and 10th anita!
I am waiting for the event holding thousands of breath. Blogging for me is very new and hope to learn from BlogCamp 2006, and have lots of interaction from serious blogging groups and individuals.
