Chinese bloggers conference 2008 November 15 - 16Posted by Jeremy Goldkorn, November 5, 2008 9:10 AM
The fourth annual CNBloggerCon takes place in Guanznghou on the weekend of November 15 to 16. CNBloggerCon is organized by a diverse collective of bloggers, techies, Internet entrepreneurs, digital activists, teachers. The conference has always been about encouraging grass roots participation. Your correspondent attended the second and third conferences, and both were great opportunities to meet Chinese Internet people from all over the country in an informal, even slightly anarchic atmosphere that brings out the best of the Chinese blogger and tech communities. If you want to attend, you can register on the conference website (Chinese). The website also contains an English schedule of speakers and events; Micah Sittig has translated the practical information about the conference venue and accommodation etc. into English here. Journalist from a foreign media organization are more than welcome to attend. There are no free media passes because CNBloggerCon is a grass roots (i.e. underfunded) organization but tickets cost only 100 yuan if you register and pay online and 150 yuan if you pay at the conference. Danwei.org is helping CNBloggerCon to connect with foreign media, so journalists may also register by sending an email to me: jeremy -at- danwei.org. |
