A-list Bloggers head to Amsterdam this October
A is for Amsterdam, B is for Blog08…
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…
Pete Cashmore
Pete Cashmore has built his own blog empire with Mashable, a blog about social networks. It ranks 10th in the world.

Hugh MacLeod

Recent quote: ”Our farmer’s market has one main problem: This isn’t farming country.“
Tim Overdiek
Tim Overdiek is Deputy Editor-in-Chief at NOS News (Dutch national public broadcasting) and an avid promoter of blogging.
Recent quote: ”Journalists without a blog don’t have a future.“
Clo Willaerts
Clo Willaerts combines her job at Sanoma Magazines Belgium with blogging, nurturing her social networks and organising Brussels Girl Geek Dinners.
Recent quote: “If I had a dollar for every “euh” by tonight’s speaker, I’d be rich by midnight.”
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.
