This years cnbloggercon was the best one to date. I’m not sure what the numbers are but the venue this year is significantly bigger than the previous ones. This year’s venue at Tsinghua’s tech park was the best yet. As i wrote in my previous post, cnbloggercon is my favorite tech conference in China and it is the only one i wouldn;t miss and would recommend to others as a must go. This year I brought along my friend/business partner Andy of New Digital Noise and Angus of 852Signal. The event has been fruitful for me as met some new people in web 2.0 space and got a lead on one of the founders of fanswo.com whom I have been trying to track down for a stealth project. Additionally I finally got to meet Joi Ito, one of the best known bloggers in the world and if not the most busiest. Joi just flew into Beijing on Sunday morning from New York and was scheduled to fly to LA later the same night.

The Orange event on the other hand was everything cnbloggercon was not. Since it was sort of a corporate event, it was alot more uptight. The venue was alot smaller and people weren’t suppose to mingle during the presentations. The presentations were good with speakers such as Isaac Mao and Tangos Chen, but it was just like any other English Web event (no loss if you missed it).
