Blogging events in 2010
In this rather late post, I would like to enumerate some of the blogging events in 2010 that I have been a part of, or at least have heard about, last year. I said late because I already made a post on the two of them.
Anyway, these are some of the blogging events that I wish to attend this year.
The first blogging event that will take place this April, which is now on its 6th installment.
iBlog6 will be held on April 16 & 17, 2010 at the Malcolm Hall, UP College of Law, UP Diliman, Quezon City.
Spearheaded by the energetic Janette Toral, the 6th Philippine Blogging Summit will tackle subjects like, relevance of blogging to business, creating buzz through blogs, the different blogging niche… and yes, including Blogging 101 for those who want to start blogging.
Register here for free and see you at the iBlog6!

The Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2010 will kick off this May. Winners will be announced and awarded in a major blogging event this August.
This is one project where I have been a very active part of last year, and I wish to bring in that same enthusiasm this year if only give back what this event has done for me.
Another project by Janette, The Emerging Influential Blogs award aims to give, not only recognition, but to encourage new blogs and blogger to continue developing their craft and to take an active part in this wonderful world called blogging.
The Philippine Blog Awards is another annual event “that aims to give recognition to outstanding blogs in, but not limited to the Filipino Blogging Community.”
I was never a part of this last year, I don’t think I was even able to vote (if ever there was voting involved) on those who were nominated for this award.
Recognitions are given to blogs in different categories, like technology, personal, business, travel and news, among others.
No date is still given for this year’s event, although it was usually held at the latter part of the year.
“Excited” would be an understatement if I would describe the feeling I have in anticipation of this event.
Without prejudice to the other events, this is the event that I want to attend most this year. Perhaps the term “word” in the WordCamp have some psychological effect to this trying-hard-wannabe-aspiring-writer.
Truth to tell, I am clueless about this event and really don’t know what to expect. But I am curious and I really want to know what this camp for “worders” is all about.
The date for this year is set on October 2, 1010 although there are still no information given as to the venue of the event. Stay tuned to this blog for more information.
Of course, Kapampangans won’t be outdone. Thanks to Kabalen Rachel who spearheaded the Pampanga Blogging Workshop 101 which will be held on April 24, 2010 at the Universe Internet Cafe, 2nd floor, SM City, City of San Fernando, Pampanga (Beside SM Cinema 4, 5 & 6)
Rachel will have no less than Janette Toral as the resource person in this first major blogging event in Pampanga.
To all Kapampangans (and non-Kapampangans alike), who want to know what is a blog and to learn how to blog, this event is for you. And tor all Kapampangan bloggers, this is a great opportunity for us to meet and see the people behind the blogs.
For more information on this blogging workshop, visit Rachel’s post.
There you are, some of the blogging events this year that I hope to take part of. If you know of other blogging events, do give me a buzz. It’s one of my blogging goal this year… to reach out and get to meet more bloggers.

Thanks for posting these events. Blogging is really becoming hot these days. I remember when I first started it, no one from us even got a clue about it. Well, that is still the case until now except for a few. That’s the reason behind the Blog workshop this April. I’d like to personally invite everyone to come as well. The price has been dropped off to 50% to make sure even students can attend.
Btw, there will be major blogging event in Visayas later this year. A friend of mine is one of the volunteers in taking care of that. They are still planning for it. Here is their page – http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/event.php?eid=104214626277369
Hope to see you all in those events!
