Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS) and International Trade Centre (ITC) jointly organizing the first ever Tweetup for bloggers, microbloggers, and tweeters in Bangladesh featuring Mark Hillary. This might turn out to be a great event for all bloggers and tweeters in Bangladesh.

About Mark Hillary 

Mark Hillary is a British Blogger running his IT Research Company in São Paulo, Brazil. Being a part of the generation when Brazil was a developing country, he has been widely experienced in technology, outsourcing, and globalization. He blogs for Reuters and the Huffington Post from UK.

Mark has authored a new book on Twitter Features Interviews, which includes case studies that includes many social media elites - including David Cameron, the British Prime Minister. He is shortlisted as the "Blogger of the year" by Computer Weekly, UK's leading technology magazine.  However, the results for  "Blogger of the year" will be announced on November 29th.

@ November 29, 2011 at 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

The aim of the #dhakatu tweetup (the hashtag used for Twitter promotion) is not about Mark talk talking about blogging. Rather, it is an event for tweeters and bloggers in Bangladesh to get together, to swap ideas, to discuss IT issues in Bangladesh, and to get wide community of bloggers involved from BASIS - representing the IT service companies.

But feel free to talk to Mark about blogging too! Mark is visiting Dhaka as part of a mission run by the UN and International Trade Centre (ITC) called NTF-II. Mark is a guest of BASIS during his stay.

I'm really looking forward to seeing you all at the tweetup. I have a load of formal meetings lined up as well as a couple of conferences to attend, but this will be a chance to hear from you directly about the problems companies in Bangladesh have getting noticed internationally.

Please do connect with me on LinkedIn and let's talk even in advance of the tweetup!

See you soon,
Mark

Blogger meetup is a regular event in Bangladesh as a result of the growing number of community blogs in Bangla language. And I hope to see more of the meetups soon.
