BNLF Mumbai: Official Thread
Folks, our most ambitious project is now underway, and we need all of you on board. This entire thing is planned and executed by IndiBlogger - which means all of you can play a crucial role in this event!
You should receive an email today with regards to getting passes for this event, and the grand scale of things. In the meantime though, perhaps we can use this thread to discuss bloggers from Mumbai hosting outstation bloggers for the two days of BNLF (thanks to Blogwati Gee for the idea!).
Bloggers from outside Mumbai who are looking for a place to stay, and bloggers from Mumbai who have a spare bed or three, please let us know!
Unfortunately, IB will not be able to sponsor travel or accomodation for outstation bloggers, as this event is really quite expensive, far, far more expensive than anything we've ever done before. On the upside though, that means being at this event is going to be more than worth your while!
Also, if anyone has any tips or questions on traveling to Mumbai, finding hotels near the venue which are safe for women, so on and so forth - please add it to this thread. Thanks! 
well, it depends on people's budgets. I never stayed in a Mumbai hotel before because...well...I have a house.
Given the location of the Lalit hotel, which area would be ideal to book a hotel?
Not possible Rio as these hotels have limit on the number of people in a room
Hello all!
I have got passes for both days and I would like to thank the IB team for considering me :)
I would be coming from Bangalore. I'd love to catch the same flight to Mumbai or share a hotel with a fellow blogger. I would reach Mumbai a couple of days early. But, will return back on Monday morning.
Please reply here if you would like to share a hotel or book the same flight from Bangalore. I find flights pretty boring :(
In past, I have stayed in a couple of hotels in and around Andheri. Can suggest some.
Cheers!
Umang
Not Andheri East. Or as we folks call it- Mordor.
2 days in Mumbai for me now!!! Got the second day provisional pass too!!! thank you guys!!! :)
yayyy!! Got my provisional pass for day 2 as well Thanks Team IB!!!!
Got the provisional pass for Day 2, too! :) Thanks, Indi! Hoping to have a great time there! :)
Yes, you have to apply separately for that. :)
I was eagerly waiting for my pass, since I had applied for the same. Could you please let me know the update on this. My lot of wonderful friends have got the provisional passes. I dont want to miss the event. Please let me know.
Still waiting for a pass. Renie, please send fast in order to make prior arrangements.
love the agenda. Great to be there. Anyone from Chennai coming to Mumbai?
Yes, I am.
Folks, we've only moderated the first wave, and even that was exclusively non-Mumbai (so that you/they have time to plan travel). We have tons of moderation left, so if you haven't received a pass as yet, don't worry!
Aaah I figured that was the case!! People here are talking about plans about travel arrangement and stay so that makes sense.
Out of curiosity, how many people from Mumbai have received this invite?
Hey Peeps..Got my provisional pass!! ..So happy!!!!!!! Thanks Indiblogger!! love you guys!!
Thanks... Looking forward to see you there!!
Congrats dude ! See you there!
i also got my provisional pass today without writing a post. thanks IB :)
Nope!!!
I didn't write any post, Rio. I still got a provisional pass.
Thank you, @TechChumz! :) Congratulations to you too! :)
Is this the time when people with no pass should start loosing hope?!.
Did you write the blog post within the stipulated date as they mentioned?
Looking forward to learn Day 2 plans..
Renie, can IB work with any surrounding hotels or Lalit itself to get a good rate? Since many people will be traveling, we are looking at 2-3 nights and considering the timing of the event, minimum local travel will be prefered by all, I think.
Please share your thoughts or plans on this. Thanks.
U can choose oyorooms which are like 999 or 1299 only..
Got the pass. :)
I got a provisional pass yesterday. @Renie could you update us regarding the second day so that I can book my tickets accordingly??
is there anything that can increase the chances of getting the Invites?
When I logged in through the link provided in email, it said 'Your application is being processed'. Do I need to daily login? or We are going to get an email????
