An Open Invitation to iBlog5: the 5th Philippine Blogging Summit

Interested in knowing what blogging is and meet fellow bloggers?

Once again, another blogging summit will be held on May 9, 2009 at the Malcolm Theater, UP College of Law in UP Diliman. Registration to this yearly event is still open and free to the public. So I recommend you guys and gals register early before online registrations will be closed.

Here is the tentative schedule for iBlog5. I’ll be also updating it while I’ll keep myself posted on site announcements. iBlog5 is still looking for sponsors and speakers for the Summit, so If you know anyone who would like to sponsor or volunteer as a speaker for any web topics, see this post for details.
