Welcome to Around the Blog, presented by the team from Blogging Planet

Around the Blog to Combine with Les Blogs 2.0

We are happy to announce LES BLOGS 2.0 in PARIS on December 5th & 6th. Furthermore, Loic Le Meur of Six Apart has invited Blogging Planet to co-produce Les Blogs 2.0, to make it a two-day event.

The first Les Blogs Cah Bagoes was held in April 2005 in Paris and was very successful, with 250 people from 25 countries attending the one-day event. This time, the event has been expanded to two days, the first focusing on the phenomenon, the second on the navigation. Robert Scoble and Shel Israel have signed on to speak, and will be announcing more speakers soon.

Given how close the dates were for "Les Blogs" and Around the Blog, we have decided to move our October 11 event to December 6, making it Day 2 of Les Blogs, with a similar schedule and the same speakers.

The cost for this event will be 200 EUR (VAT excluded) which will include the two-day conference, lunch on both days and the cocktail party on Monday evening.

Registration and Program will be available in a few days and you will be able to follow all the information about the conference on its weblog Business Blog SEO.

So, please don't register here anymore.

We'll end the day with a series of case studies and a look at the future of participatory communications.
