I haven’t written about the upcoming blog party in this blog because the goings-on have mostly been more related to my Davao blog. But, aside from the first-ever blog party in town, there will be other activities around 17 March. Foremost, the event is a bloggers party. Non-IT for the most part. But the other activities do have a bearing on the local IT industry.

First off, Janette Toral will be holding a DigitalFilipino Club eyeball. Essentially, this affair is for club members only. However, as there are only 6 members in Davao, Janette usually invites other people as well. Hopefully they will join the 6 of us here in Davao and become part of DigitalFilipino. Ok, I’m going to sound like a brochure here, but I just want to say that it’s a great club! It’s a business networking group, where you get to interact among like-minded people. And there are results as well. Personally, I’ve gotten two huge clients, thanks to DigitalFilipino.

And then we have Google Philippines’ Aileen Apolo, who will come to town not only as a special guest of the Davao bloggers (together with Janette), but also as a resource speaker in no less than 3 seminars. On the 17th, she will participate in the DigitalFilipino eyeball and discuss Google’s services; AdSense, AdWords, among others. On the 19th (Monday), she will do school visits in the morning and afternoon; and in the evening, Aileen will talk to Davao’s SEOs. And on the 20th, she is scheduled to meet with Davao’s SME sector for a seminar on Web Marketing.

A third special guest who will grace the 1st-ever Davao blog party is Abe Olandres of Yugatech. Abe is practically a veteran in the Philippine blogosphere, so we invited him to impart his knowledge on Blogging Best Practices during the bloggers’ get-together.
