Blog08 Amsterdam: A-List Bloggers line-up expands, early bird discount ends tomorrow.

October 7th, 2008

Blog08, Amsterdam, on the 24th October 2008, has added some great bloggers to its line-up, and tomorrow is your last chance to get an early bird discount to save €45 on the entry fee,

Blog08 LogoI’d recommend you get your name on the list today, as the early bird discount, means it’s only €150 to attend, rather than €195. With a mention in Parool.nl, and being all over the Dutch media today, and online in the likes of ADMetro, and Trouw, the reduced price allocation may be gone very soon. You also have the chance to win a free seat at the Speaker’s Dinner on the night before the conference if you buy before Thursday.

This will be the rock’n'roll blogging event of the year in Europe, with a great host in Patrick de Laive, a great venue, and an amazing program that, of course, includes performances from a rock band… and an after-party at Odeon, Amsterdam.

And of course, it takes place on a Friday… leaving you free to enjoy an extra day or two in Amsterdam. Assuming you survive that after-party, of course.

A-list Bloggers head to Amsterdam this October

September 4th, 2008

A is for Amsterdam, B is for Blog08…

And these guys are the organisers...

And C is for - see you there. You know when a conference has organisers who look like they should be smashing guitars over amps, it’s a sign that their event is probably not going to really conform.

Meganova, the highly successful team behind the Next Web Blog and annual Next Web Conference, promise a rock’n'roll event, fronted by the combatant team (L-R above) of Ernst-Jan Pfauth and Edial Dekker, with Patrick de Laive acting as host for the day, a great venue, and an amazing program that, of course, includes live performances from a rock band… and an after-party at Odeon.  

Speakers so far announced…

Remember, of course, that Blog08 takes place on a Friday… leaving you free to enjoy an extra day or two in Amsterdam. Assuming you survive that after-party at the Odeon, of course. If the Next Web 2008 After Party is anything to go by… it should live up to its ‘Rockstars of the Web’ title.

Your very own Digital Biographer will be there, and I have arranged for a special discount of €45 Euros off the conference fee for Digital Biographer Blog readers - just used the special promo code ‘digtalbio’ when you book online
