After planning and waiting since Pesta Blogger 2009, this year ON|OFF / Pesta Blogger 2011 was finally able to invite fellow bloggers from the South East Asia region. With full support from US Embassy Jakarta, 9 bloggers were invited including myself.
Apart from me, there were bloggers from Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Phillippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. See their profiles here. During our stay in Jakarta, we shared info about the digital and social media landscape in our countries, including our experience and insight related to blogging and social media.
There was a huge turnout of participants for the event and I must admit I was a little overwhelmed by the crowd and the whole carnival like atmosphere. There were booths put up by blogger groups from all over Indonesia and also of course, the US mission to ASEAN.
Congratulations to the organizing team and the sponsors for an event well executed! Looking forward to the next one!
