Pakistan Blog Awards 2010

CIO and Google invite you to the 1st Annual Blog Awards Ceremony and UnConference, presented by Nokia and sponsored by DELL. Join us in recognizing the people whose writings, photographs, opinions and videos make the Pakistani blogosphere as dynamic as it is.

Awards. UnConference. Enter.

So what the heck is an UnConference anyway?
It’s actually an event that is less the ‘you listen’, ‘we talk’ and a more inclusive space where we invite the audience to share their insights and press for questions that need to be asked. Each conversation session will reach out and invite a select few audience members to have a seat at the table amidst the subject-matter experts.

conversation session 1
innovation in media
How is technology shaping content creation, delivery and monetization in the media  landscape? What are some strategies used to make media more social and relevant? Is IPTV ready for Primetime? Or is Primetime ready for IPTV? What is the future of News? How much of an impact is Citizen Journalism really having on meeting the audience demands? And is it impact or is it just adding to the clutter? Does entertainment make content delivery more valuable? Is there really space for traditional content in New Media? Or New Media space in the traditional ecosystem?

conversation session 2
selling 3.0
How are companies merging advertising with entertainment to create the ‘Transmedia’ experience? Is it possible to monetize local content? What are some of local delivery channels that work? What is the future of New Media advertising? What innovation, or lack thereof, is being used in Digital Advertising in Pakistan? 360 Advertising: Are we headed in the right direction?

conversation session 3
engage & converge
Is there life beyond monetization?
Can you engage in the converged environment?
How do you create a loyal audience in the global marketplace?
So brands are online. Audiences are online. What next? If everyone is talking, who’s listening? What’s the secret sauce behind user generated content in getting brands to go viral? Does the Pakistani blogosphere have a story to tell? Or are they just trying to regurgitate the mundane and insignificant?
