Bloggin' Okanagan
a mini blog conference
September 26, 2010
1:30-3:30 pm at the Kelowna Art Gallery
For
some it's the new journal - for others a new form of journalism.
Blogging
is becoming popular across a broad range of demographics and is, for many,
a preferred method of expression. It's also connecting strangers around
the world including right here in the Okanagan Valley.
As
part of Culture Days, September
24-26, the Kelowna Art Gallery is working in partnership with Pear Tree
House Productions to host a panel discussion on this hobby-come-business.
Bloggin'
Okanagan
is a mini blog conference running from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Sept. 26 at the
Kelowna Art Gallery. It will feature a panel of experienced bloggers and
social media professionals from around the Valley to explore the
phenomenon of blogging. There will also be networking ops for local
bloggers.
