6th Philippine Blogging Summit

For these past three years that I have been running and blogging, I noticed that there was a sudden surge of runners who blog at the same time. So if you are one of those contemplating to make one and doesn’t have any inkling on how to go about it, you might as well join the 6th Philippine Blogging Summit.

I didn’t know about this until a friend of mine, Zimm Mosende (not a Kenyan), also a runner, told me about it. And guess what? One of the speakers is the owner of the Takbo.ph site.

The summit will be held at Malcolm Theater, Malcolm Hall, UP College of Law, UP Diliman, Quezon City on 16-17 Apr. 2010.

It will be a two-day affair with the first day, April 16, targeting businesses and entrepreneurs wanting to understand how to tap blogs as a medium to promote their products and services and the second day, April 17, is for everyone interested about blogging.
