Inaugural MARBC 2011 - a success that surprises even us

We at Blog House Malaysia are still trying to get over the success we have achieved for the 1st Malaysian-Asean Regional Bloggers Conference (MARBC, pronounced  "ma-back") held over the weekend of 23rd and 24th April 2011. It's a good feeling. We might as well enjoy it while it lasts. Anyway, during the initial conception of the conference, we agreed that we would set out to achieve 3 things. First, to invite the Statesman Blogger and former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to be the patron of Blog House. Second, to seek the presence of the Prime Minister Dato' Sri Najib Tun Razak to officiate its opening and give us his Keynote Address. Third, to invite as many fellow local and Asean Bloggers to come partake of the occasion and share with us their experiences, successes and challenges. Honestly, we were pleasantly surprised at the outcome. They all agreed to come and grace us with their presence and we had a great time enjoying ourselves. And as they say, the rest is history. But, lest we forget, the conference would not have been as great a success if not for the generosity of our sponsors to whom we are grateful.
