A few months back, a few Filipino bloggers wanted to organize a “bloggers for bloggers” event similar to Gnomedex. Of course, Gnomedex was sponsored by Lockergnome which meant they had the resources to pull this off. At that time, we were looking for a sponsor for this type of event which would be geared more towards serious bloggers, which basically allude to adjectives like: prolific, stat-crazy, and “pro-.”

So here we are, and guess what? We may finally have a sponsor for this event to be held in a few weeks. The first item on the agenda is to think of a KILLER NAME for this event. Any suggestions?

Band of Bloggers is out. Some other suggestions include:

1. Blogcon
2. Philblog
3. Philippine Blog Summit
4. Father Abe-raham and the Pinoy Top Bloggers

Note that this is a bit different from the iBlog Summit that is held once a year. This event will be a bit more targeted towards specific problogging and blog optimization topics.

Leave a comment for suggestions. :)

  5. blogcon sounds nice, straight to the point. Philippine Blog Summit sounds “official,” if you know what i mean…

    that is, unless you guys want to have people try to guess what it is?

  7. I think blogcon is simple and clear. On the other hand, #5 from Kiven just made me laugh hard enough to get my vote. I wonder what happened to #6 though.

  9. [...] We’re lucky to have found a willing sponsor and Jayvee’s asking for suggestions for the name of the event. I’d like to call it the Philippine BlogCon “Meet the Bloggers” hoping to sway the voting to that side of the poll. *heh* [...]

  10. “blogcon” would be nice although the “con” suffix it is usually used for conference.

  11. Same here Jayvs. Blogcon’s short and sweet, but still says what it’s all about.

  13. blogcon sounds nice, but if you’re really “serious,” i think you need a name that will instantly differentiate it from iblog.

    my suggestion: pro-blog (vs anti-blog? LOL!)
