Blogtalk - A European Weblog Conference: Web-based publishing, communication and collaboration tools for professional and private use.

The conference will be held in Vienna, Austria, Europe, in May 2003. Deadline for submission of ideas and papers is the 28th February 2003.

The primary goal of BlogTalk is to inventory the current and emerging uses of blogs.

Active bloggers as well as people from all professional fields are invited to attend.

George Siemens summarizes attempts to define the new concept of blogging as follows:

"Blogging is a format constant (archives, links, time stamps, chronological listing of thoughts and links), personalized, community-linked, social, interactive, democratic, new model innovation built on the unique attributes of the Internet."
