It is always a good experience to meet people face to face and know a bit more, particularly if you've read their articles for long time and liked it. Bloggers Meet gives a platform for that. Such meets doesn't even need a theme or selection criteria-anyone who blogs can attend... Check Indiblogger websites for upcoming meets in various cities... Attend if possible.

The event has got lots of sponsors including Times Of India, Bank of Baroda and Radio Mirchi and is likely to get considerable attention as this appears to be the first initiative of this kind in the town.

Kannada Bloggers Met at Bangalore
Recently a Kannada Bloggers meet was held in Bangalore’s BP Wadia Institute of World Cultures, Organized by Pranati. Over a hundred Kannada bloggers gathered there and discussed their experience on blogging in regional language. Some common concerns like Unicode font problems were resolved to a reasonable extent. Veteran Kannada bloggers/writers shared their experience as to how they introduced regional language on world wide web and the journey then after. I was there but had to leave an hour early as I had to catch the train.
