So, I have said it before and I will repeat again, I love
lists. It might just stem from an education system which encouraged us to list
down important points for answers. Remember questions like- write 5 properties
of igneous rocks, or list 5 disadvantages of deforestation? Well, I am getting
a little off track here. This article isn’t about why I love lists. It’s why I
think BNLF is awesome, and what better way to illustration that than by, you
got it, listing down all the cool things about it.
So, here it goes-
What’s In a Name- Well, apparently a lot! The name pretty much sets the pace of
the entire package! And BNLF is pretty much awesome! Think of all the
conferences that you have been to- the International Blah Blah Blah Conference
on La di Dadada, remember? Well, ever been to conference without the word “conference”
or “Symposium” in it? Ever even heard of one before? I haven’t! And Blog Now,
Live Forever gets brownie points for being narcissistic in the sweetest way
possible! If you don’t love blogging enough to believe it has the power to make
you immortal, you might as well not register for it at all!
Every Note is a Keynote- Another amazing USP! I finished my M.Sc. a couple of
months ago, and let me assure you that I have been to my fair share of
conference. One uniform feature of most of them is that the keynote seems to be
the more interesting, and the rest, well, not so much! The keynote speakers are
also one of the most eminent personalities, and so most people turn up to talk
to hear them speak. But at BNLF all the speakers are keynote, which essentially
means, everyone is at par. And if you just look at the line-up, you would know
exactly what I mean. Which brings me to my third point in the list-
THE Speakers- These people are some of the best in the
field! I have admired Anshul for years now for what he does not only with Youth
Ki Awaaz, but also for the awesome campaigns that he is associated with, and
his advocacy of youth journalism. I could go on and on about most of the
speakers who are scheduled for this seminar, and then some more!
The Venue-The Lalit, Mumbai. Enough said.
If you don’t believe me, look at the picture below, and you would know what I
am talking about.

The Date- Although I am sure there are quite a few of us who would have loved to bunk work (or school/college) to attend BNLF, for the majority of us, skipping work seems to be a bit of a trouble. Fret not! Indiblogger has us covered there too.
For the Bloggers, by the Bloggers, of the Bloggers- The second
day of the conference is exclusively for people who have been stalwarts of
blogging. Not only does that mean you get to hear about real, get your hands
dirty approach to blogging, but also the fact the wonderful people who have
spent years honing their knowledge of creating content and blogging are
acknowledged in an international platform. And that is a feat in itself.
