Citizens Blogging Summit
This Friday WTMJ radio will be hosting a Citizens Blogging Summit. From 1:30 to 4:45 Wisconsin webloggers will talk about all angles of weblogging from politics, to business, to entertainment. We have weblogging pioneers as well as significant players in the blogosphere willing to chat about where this new, people-powered medium has been, what it’s doing now, and where it’s going.
The summit is designed for webloggers, weblog readers, and media, business, and political types who want to find out how webloggers tick, how to effectively approach them, and what they see is the future of citizen media.
Registration is required but there’s no cost to attend.
Doors open at 12:45 with the first panel beginning at 1:30.
Here’s the schedule:

Besides the great panelists and the smart audience three reasons to attend are 1) getting to see a part of the infamous MSM; 2)free food; 3) I’ll be moderating so you can watch me flail away trying to keep opininated people on some sort of a track.
