@peter Thanks for the kind words! I remember that book. It was a quick start guide. This book will be more about the thoughts and motivations behind blogging.

@Erno, We’ll let you know asap, probably in about two weeks.

Ik ben zeer benieuwd naar de inhoud van het event.

Great to hear about your e-book, the only Dutch book about blogging I ever read was written by a certain Stan Evers (as far as I know he’s not in my family). It wasn’t the best of books (you probably knew, since you gave it away…to me). When do you expect to finish your first chapter? Looking forward to read it!

P.S.: Great work on the conference! Looking forward to it too!

@Erwin Also, we are trying to get people connected at the event. Our speakers are very different from each other but they all share one common thing; passion for what they are doing. BLOG08 will be a day about meeting new people, getting inspired, promoting creativity and personal development.

Another thing that differentiates us from Blognomics will be the entry-fee, we feel that everyone should be able to come to this event and not be restricted by the entry-fee. This doesn’t mean there is no room for business, there is more than enough room for business, it just means we want to have best of both worlds! :)

@Bas Henk is definitely someone whose on our wish list for speaking at BLOG08 as he has built a blog imperium that now even crosses the borders of our country.

@Edwin, thanks! Looking forward to the interview.

@Erwin. Good questions. We try to differentiate from Blognomics by focusing more on personal development and creativity. Of course we touch certain business aspects, yet we do believe blogging starts with the right mind set. Not just with a good marketing plan. So that’s why not only invite corporate bloggers but also artists, students, and hobbyists. There will also be room for practical blogging tips (3x 3 bloggers x 5 minutes) and of course there’s the group blog market.

I hope we can attract the people who attended Blognomics as well as people who have never heard anything about blogging. We think the mix between these people will have an interesting result. Experienced bloggers see a glimpse of reality ;-), and new bloggers can come up with fresh ideas and learn from the best.

I’m not sure whether Blognomics will take place this year. They still haven’t announced anything. Yet if it continues – which I definitely hope – I’m sure there’s room for two blogging conferences in Holland.

Questions, what does this add to Blognomics? Is there room for two blog-events in Amsterdam? Or is Blognomics no more?

Sounds great to me Ernst-Jan :-)
