The 5th Philippine Blogging Summit

I saw this by coincidence as I search for additional knowledge on blogging. I want to be serious in doing my blogs and as a newcomer in the field, I often find myself going through many sites discussing the subject of blogging until I saw the announcement about the 5th Philippine Blogging Summit or iBlog5 for short.

As an aspiring blogger, I immediately register as a participant to the event. If you are interested to join, you may proceed to http://iblogph.org/ and register. Participation in iBlog5 is free.

The 5th Philippine Blogging Summit will be on 09 May 2009 at the Malcolm Theater, UP College of Law, UP Diliman, from 8 am to 5 pm. Registration will still be FREE. Register NOW!

This is the schedule for the whole-day event which is still subject to revisions. Update will be made available as soon as the schedule gets finalized. You will see the updates and all other matters relating to the event on this weblog.
