AN INITIATIVE OF MINISTRY OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, GOVERNMENT OF SINDH
“Blogging has gone beyond pastime and into prime time….”
This is the first step by any government in South Asia and Middle East to take Blogging seriously and recognizing “Blogging” as an alternate medium and source of information.
The growth of the Pakistani blogging community has mirrored the expansion of the blogosphere elsewhere in the developed or the developing world. However, there have been only a few opportunities afforded to Pakistani bloggers to get together and discuss their common interests.
This will not be a conference in the traditional sense. It will be relatively informal with the biggest bloggers of Pakistan and the people they blog about (the politicians). Instead of lengthy presentations, people will be invited to lead discussions on various topics throughout the day – some practical, such as how to build a better blog, and some theoretical on the role, influence and future of blogs.
It is hoped that this First National Bloggers Conference will be a memorable event where all participants will learn more about the social, cultural, creative and technological aspects of blogging from one another.
