Idea BlogWalk is a series of face-to-face meetings aimed to bring together weblog researchers and practitioners for in-depth conversations about their work, possible trends, and visions. The format we strive for is an intellectual Salon where minds can meet and inspire each other in direct conversation. Purpose The intention is to complement BlogTalk with smaller scale opportunities to meet and to talk. The idea was in the air for a few months already, but we couldn't start working on it. Then one late evening Sebastian Fiedler came up with this great name and it went rolling. Walk means that we will be "walking" around places and have fun there. It also means that meetings will include walking in and out of pubs and nice places to eat because everyone knows that drinks and good food fuel conversations. Note: this fun side is about complementing hard reflective work together and not replacing it :) What BlogWalk tries NOT to be BlogWalk Salons are no mini-conferences. We don't have keynote speakers, presentations, vendors, and so forth. There is no distinction between presenters and audience; we expect every participant to contribute to the conversation.
