China BloggerCon 2007 in Beijing has to be one of the best events I have attended. It’s a great environment and everyone knows everyone and if not, you will by the end of the conference, that’s how casual and friendly environment it is. I can’t say much about the previous two conferences, but this one had as many web startups as there are bloggers, so hitting this show should be on everyone’s calendar (it’s even on Scoble’s calendar).

The topics covered a variety of topics and offered really good insights on the web scene in China, something I am not at all familiar with. You can catch up on all the tidbits with John Kennedy was live blogging and in excellent details (via Rebecca MacKinnon). Luyi Chen at China Web 2.0 Review also has a summary of his Social Application panel he moderated. My knowledge of the blogosphere and startups in China and Hong Kong is very limited, so learning and meeting Chinese bloggers and industry leaders there was just awesome.

It seems the conference has grown out of its unconference style (at least that’s how I viewed it before) but was told that the venue, being a large conference hall, created the feeling of a typical conference. Yet, this was the best location thus far, compared to Shanghai and Hangzhou, as I was told. There has been hints that the next conference will be held in Guangzhou, not too far from Hong Kong. Hopefully, people in Hong Kong will find this type of event interesting.

There was just so much that went on that writing in words will never be able describe it, that’s how much fun this event was. Thanks Isaac and team for putting up an awesome event!
