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.

So this is my not-so-late post about my iBlog5 experience, and just like everybody else, I enjoyed the day. And why can’t I? I’m in the company of friends! The trip all from Angeles City was really worth it!

Thanks to Zorlone who picked me up from MRT North Station, otherwise I wouldn’t know my way to event. And there I was finally able to meet Mon of Fatherlyours and Snow of Dear Bloggery. During the breaks I was also able to meet Ceblogger and Jonel Uy.

Of course, I made sure that I get to meet Janette Toral, because in events like this you got to meet and at least shake hands with the proponents… and even better, thanks to Snow, we have a picture together with Janette.

Now I can brag that I know Janette, and she knows me

(@Reyna Elena, am I doing good in my social climbing lessons so far?)

My only regret is that I haven’t really met the other bloggers. Of course there was a fellowship after the event, unfortunately I have to travel all the way to Angeles City and my kids don’t have anybody with them at home.

Looking forward to the next iBlog event, and perhaps I would get to know more bloggers then.

My Bad! I almost forgot about this event — the 5th Philippine Blogging Summit, and the deadline for registration is already on April 30, 2009!

I actually registered here as early as February, and because of two many blogs to take care of, it slipped my mind.

I do hope it is not yet too late to invite all my blogging buddies to this event so we all can meet in this blogging summit.

The event will be on May 9, 2009 at the Malcolm Theater, UP College of Law, UP Diliman, and it will an 8am to 5pm affair. And yes, I know you would ask that, REGISTRATION IS FREE!

Before I wrote this post, I visited the official site and saw that there are already 427 registrants. This is definitely one happy event. I saw on the list familiar names like Roel and a long-time entrep forum buddy Gwen.

And I would like to invite more friends – Jan, Doc Z, Jena Isle, Snow, Sir Mon, Elmot, etc., etc. etc. it would be a great opportunity for as to gather in one occassion and meet other bloggers as well.

I am really looking forward to attending this event. My very first blogging summit.

So please, register here, and let’s all have a fun and meaningful day.

And one more thing… I don’t know how to get to UP Diliman!!!! So won’t you please attend so we can all go together?
