Hi Archit, I think this is a great opportunity for us to share our knowledge. I visited last year Webmaster's Meet at Delhi, so my suggestion would be to 1. List down the number of attendee's list send out a unique code so that we can understand what type of people are registering for the event. In future this will help us a long way. 2. Gather email address and phone number of the attendee's list to confirm the date and venue. Keep up the good work. Arnab.

@Raka - As Renie said, you could bring as many people as you want along with you. If he or she could register here then it would be easy for us to organize the meet as we'll know how many bloggers are attending it. But yes you could bring along as many as you want. As for the venue, I am really sorry but it has been already finalized so we can't change it now. Why not send us suggestions for better places so that wecould choose them the next time? Cheers!

Anwin invited me to be there at the Blogger Meet at Kolkata. First of all, a ton of thanks for taking the effort to organize this. Secondly, a ton of sorry's. Although I'm a Kolkatan, I'm in college now which is outside Kolkata. Moreover, we'll be having our mid-sem exams around that day. Thanks Anwin for the invitation, but I'm really sorry, i don't think I'll be able to add to the list of the attendees. Anyway, keep up the good work. The force will be with you.

@leon - You don't have to pay a single penny for attending the meet. IndiBlogger.in is not charging you anything because they want Indian bloggers to meet up so that the community can grow as the blogging trend is growing. The schedule will be announced soon and for registration, Just click confirmation button above and you'll be registered. Cheers!

We screwed up, therefore we apologize.
We guess you all have noticed by now the spelling error on your T-shirts! Needless to say, we were quite mortified when we noticed the error after the meet. We are working with our sponsor to get them replaced, and we'll email you guys soon on the status of the same.
On another note - the Kolkata meet was simply awesome - you guys gave us the best blogger meet we've had in a long time. It was loads of fun, and thank you Kolkata!
