Filipino geeks, techies, internet marketers, netizens and bloggers are preparing for a series of major events in the new few weeks and months – all proof positive of their passion for technology.

The 4th annual summit by the Internet and Mobile Marketing Association of the Philippines (IMMAP) to be held at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia, Pasay City will assemble internet and mobile marketing experts and practitioners for a two-day learning extravaganza. There will also be a special #TweetUp on Aug. 20, 7:00 pm, at the same venue. 

There will be several SFD events but a considerable number of organizations are holding one big event at not one, but two colleges at the University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City. Champions of free and open source software will be there to introduce the curious to the joys and benefits of FOSS.

An annual writing project that seeks to identify and rewards the Philippine blogosphere’s “emerging” and “influential” blogs through votes by bloggers themselves. The awarding will be held sometime in Sept.

This year, Zamboanga City will host the 4th edition of this annual bloggers gathering from all over Southern Philippines.
