Dear Indiblogger... Why So Less Space for Bloggers? :-(
Shashi
Shashi said 1 year ago
Dear Ashok
Indiblogger has given individual bloggers an option to organise a meet on their own. They support through display, emails etc. Now why not bigger space? Since word restriction is here, I have answered this at Forum Topic "Chennai Blogger Meet"

Well I have talked to the Presidency Club and I think we can fit another 10 people. I have also talked to Karthik from Indiblogger, he will be increasing the seats from 25-35 tonigh. So you still have a chance. Check Forum topic Chennai Blogger Meet.

Shashi
Shashi said 1 year ago
Yes, could get some space for another 10 seats and out of which already 4 are taken, so if you think there are other passionate bloggers out here in Chennai let them know as the seats are being filled up like a rock concert... :-)

Shashi

Thanks Ganesh for joining in, good to have you in the meet. Your participation is confirmed as you have already registered. See you there.
Sowmya Swaminathan
Sowmya Swaminathan said 1 year ago
But I did not receive any mail from Indiblogger regarding this Meet! Dunno why!
Shashi
Shashi said 1 year ago
Dear Sowmya
I was told that Indiblogger will invite people for this meet but I guess the seats got filled up fast so there was no need. In fact I had to increase the number of seats from 25 to 35 as there was lot of requests to attend.
Cheers!!!
Sowmya Swaminathan
Sowmya Swaminathan said 1 year ago
Oh okay! Thanks for the info!:)

Is the registration cost? If yes, how much is the cost for registration?
Shashi
Shashi said 1 year ago
Hi Yesu
There is no cost as its about meeting fellow bloggers... the venue has been booked by a good friend of mine (Who has certain influence in Presidency Club as he is ADGP of TN Police) and rest of the cost of partying is something I am bearing. :-)
Rajkumar
Rajkumar said 1 year ago

Rajkumar
Rajkumar said 1 year ago
Thank you Shashi!!!
Rajkumar
Rajkumar said 1 year ago
Shashi, could you accommodate more people (say 50) so that our seats get confirmed !!! :)
Ganesh Puttu
Ganesh Puttu said 1 year ago
Rajkumar it wouldnt be fair to ask Shashi to increase the attendees list when he is arranging the entire meet single-handed and free of cost. why not join the next meet...for hopefully it will become a regular programme in future if we all desire.
Rajkumar
Rajkumar said 1 year ago
Yes; What you said is correct Ganesh, let us join the next meet.
Rajkumar
Rajkumar said 1 year ago
Shashi, If you are in need of any assistance don't hesitate to ask, I am ready to help you.

Shashi
Shashi said 1 year ago
@Rajkumar - Your seat is confirmed, dont worry. I will leave mine. if you dont get any place to sit, Please come.... and yes I need lots of assitance so help me to organise this event.
Shashi
Shashi said 1 year ago
@ Ganesh Purur Thanks for your vote of confidence in me, I appreciate it. And yes I would love if it becomes a regular program.
Shashi
Shashi said 1 year ago
@Priya Iyer, I agree, but then surprisingly the first 25 seats got registered within two days.. so there was no need I guess and then we had to increase it to 35 and that got filled up fast too. Please join in if you don't mind cramped up space.

Shashi
Shashi said 1 year ago
I guess, the emails were not sent out from Indiblogger as the seats got full, within two days, hence there was no need. Further Its an event, organised under the program "Organise An Event" giving a chance to Individual bloggers to organise it.
Shashi
Shashi said 1 year ago
@Prabhavathi thanks for your wishes and let me know if you are still interested in joining, I will see if there is further possibility of squeezing in few more people... :-)
Shashi
Shashi said 1 year ago

@Raja I will let you know ... just trying to work out some space... one of the registered blogger has sent me a message about not being able to join... so there is some hope.... will let you know....

Loved the meeting and the interactions. It would have been great if every one registered had joined the meet. I know a few who wanted to come but could not because it said the registrations are over.
Sylvian Patrick
Sylvian Patrick said 1 year ago
I sincerely request bloggers to be responsible and deregister when you are not available for the meeting. it will help others to join. Hats off to Sashi for organising such an event. We are planning to have the "best blog award" every month. Right Sashi?
Shashi
Shashi said 1 year ago
Oh Yes, Patrick
