I had some suggestions on some of the topics being discussed, but I decided not to speak, again I wasn’t feeling well.. But I should’ve screamed about them. Pictures here. [...]

Good event by CIO team! I’m sure there was a week without sleep at least that went into this!
Only one reservation it was more a conference than an unconference and sadly audience participation was not very very high.
The 70% formal format is understandable as quite a few of the marketing and advertising people who attended would have been at sea in a real unconference and to have such a large group interact informally would have been tough!
All in all well done and kudos to all !

Thanks Tyrone.. True – but the discussion was important because while you are FROM the industry that might be aware of a lot of this, a lot of people aren’t. As for audience participation, errr… can you think of ANY conference that had more than 300 people attending physically and almost 100 following the livestream online that tries to get almost 50 people partaking in the discussion itself, in ADDITION to the panelists themselves?
But sure.. these are all learning experiences for us and we’ll continue to “build your own conference” and hopefully reach a time when everyone in the audience will be presenting to everyone on the panel.. 
Thanks for all your help and support, Tyrone!

@Sarosh! An award you almost didn’t collect!
Anyway glad you won mate!
@Rabia Thanks for the thanks as Ramla said the fact that the Blog Awards were held was a big step in itself! But please give yourself and your team a pat on the back!
Great giveaways luv’d the Tshirt and the keychain looks very chic wish I had a Civic to go with it!
Ahem Rabia dear to clarify I only have one phone a Nokia 6020 which I’ve been using for almost 5 years !
I wonder why you thot I have ‘many’ phones?
Anyway I didn’t know the exact answer to the Nokia question so no harm done!
See you at the post event build down!

[...] Pakistan’s first ever blog awards were taking place this past Friday at Rengent plaza, Karachi and this was the reason for my short trip to Karachi. Initially I had no plan to be there because it seemed as it will be hard to get leave from the office, but I am highly grateful to my AM who grant me leave for enough time, which enabled me to be there in time.
