After launching its first event in Iloilo last year, the Visayas Blogging Summit is here for the second time. All bloggers are invited to join this event, not just the bloggers from Visayas, but also bloggers from Luzon and Mindanao. This event is FREE to all individuals who are interested to join. It means, even though you don't own a blog, or your a student, you're still welcome to join the program.
This year, Cebu is fortunate enough to host the 2011 Visayas Blogging Summit. With the theme "Blogging and Beyond", attendants are expected to learn more on Personal and Professional blogging, Social Media for Business, and Social Media Responsibilities. Cebu Bloggers, which is the organizers of the said event, also make sure that participants will not only learn more in this summit, but also enjoy attending it. They have prepared some surprises for the participants, and a couple of magnificent contest like RAFI Triennial Awards Blogging Contest and Best VBS Blogpost Contest in which bloggers can participate and show their talents in writing.
When I learned about this event in Cebu Bloggers Society, I excitedly told my brother Christopher and my cousin Carla about it. They are both a newcomer in the blogging world. Well, I am too. That's why I'm so eager to participate in this event. I want to acquire all needed information to make my blog and my blogging experience a success. We're really excited and looking forward to it. Probably you'll also be as excited as we are if you know who the Keynote speaker is. That would be Mr. Chris Ducker, one of the featured speaker at the BlogWroldExpo in Los Angeles, USA this year. Hmm... I think, this is gonna be one awesome world-class talk!
I know a lot of you are curious about the program and who else will gonna be there. So here's something for you. :)
