An Offline Web Event

Cross post (if you’re subscribed to Tech Hive, yes it’s the same thing)

There’s Philippine Blog Awards and iBlog (bloggers), BarCamp and WordCamp (programmers, fine, WordCamp’s for bloggers too), SEMCON (SEO/SEM) and Graphika Manila.

Why, pray do tell, don’t we have an event for web designers? That’s the question from a fellow blogger, designer, and standardista, Ia, a call which was, surprisingly, answered by lots of interested and enthusiastic web designers. Apparently, it’s been in the minds of other people but no one’s making it happen.

We’re a bunch of newbies when it comes to event planning but after the initial meeting last Friday Thursday (how can I confuse the day) with Ia, Regnard, Joni, Sarah, Marco, Jolo, Rico and Kin, I’m very positive that we will see this through.

If you want to help in any way, you can contact any of us. We will need sponsors, a name for the event (yeah, yeah) and we’re also thinking of turning ourselves into an official organization, if you have any idea how we can do that please do let us know.
