iBlog10: The 10th Philippine Blogging Summit (Intro by GM Rege)

Bloggers from all over the Philippines will once again converge at the Malcolm Theater, UP Diliman College of Law for the most awaited blogging event of the year, iBlog 10: The 10th Philippine Blogging Summit. iBlog is now on its 10th year and we are just ecstatic for everything that will take place during the next two days.

I first attended iBlog7 back in 2011 when I was still in college and I was (and still am) always looking forward to attending next year's summit. I'm so glad to be attending this year's iBlog as I missed iBlog9 last year because I was confined in the hospital. This year, I'm excited to see the past and returning speakers of iBlog. My good friend Ivan Saldajeno of sportyguy.info will be speaking on the rise of the sports bloggers on Day 2 of the summit.

Here's more info regarding iBlog10:

iBlog: The 10th Philippine Blogging Summit (#iblog10) is slated today, April 4 and tomorrow April 5, 2014 at the Malcolm Theater, UP College of Law, UP Diliman, Quezon City from 8 AM to 5 PM.

A decade of blogging and moving forward
On our 10th year, we encourage our speakers, bloggers, and participants to share insights in retrospective about the past 10 years and how we do all want to move forward.

Note that the first 300 registered participants to come early (on or before 9 am) will be given food stub and participant kit. Afterwards, remaining food stubs and participant kits shall be given to early walk-ins.

 #iblog10 is a FREE 2-day event. We have invited speakers who were part of iBlog in the past 10 years and those who have also made a big impact to the blog and social media space. On the 2nd day, we accommodated a few topic submissions from first-time iBlog speakers to add that newbie touch while sticking to our theme of retrospective and moving forward.
