One of the ideas that emerged out of the Blogtalk 2.0 conference in July 2004 was Blogwalking. Blogwalks are face-to-face conversations that provide smaller-scale opportunities for weblog researchers and practitioners to meet and talk on a more informal basis. So far, there have been eight Blogwalks in cities around the world. Blogwalk 9.0 will take place in Innsbruck, Austria, and two more Blogwalks are tentatively planned in coming months for Dresden, Germany and Salzburg, Austria. Participation is by invitation only. If you are interested in joining upcoming Blogwalks in Dresden or Salzburg, or would like to propose other cities for future Blogwalks, visit the Blogwalk site.
