You (B)log: First International Bloggers Congress in Brasil edit

Susiebubbleguilhermevaladares1_3

The first international bloggers congress in Brasil, entitled 'You B(log)' took place at the planetarium inside the Ibirapuera Park in Sao Paulo. I was invited to participate and to be one of the speakers, and to tell you the truth, I had a great time! Not only I had the opportunity to express my points of view on blogging and my experiences during the almost five years of existance of my dear Cooking Diva Blog, but I met so many brilliant bloggers and made some very interesting business contacts!

The event was a courtesy of Vogue Brasil and Brastemp, organized by Cacá Ribeiro Eventos.

The panel of bloggers consisted of:

Susie Lau of Style Bubble, one of the most famous blogs of Fashion in the UK, and the whole world! Sorry Susie, I know you wont like to read this but, it is the truth hehe!

Glauco Sabino of Descolex (Sao Paulo, Brazil) - An urban blog, colorful and popular like his creator!

Vitor Angelo of Dus Infernos (Brazil) - A very outspoken fashion and culture blog, just like Vitor!

Guilherme Valadares of Papo de Homem (Brazil) - A blog focused on mens lifestyle.

Jennine Tann of The Coveted (Germany) - Jennine could not personally be at the event because of visa issues, but she was live via Skype!

The event was hosted by Marcelo Tas, the mastermind behind Marcelo Tas - The Blog. He is a very popular TV personality and the creator of one of the first blogs in Brazil.

Check out one of the videos of the event:

Will post photos and report more about this event later!

Have a great day!
Melissa
