This year's Chinese Blogger Conference will take place in Beijing as well as virtually on the internet this coming weekend.

As in previous years, there are a wide variety of topics that would appeal to anyone interested in the latest trends and application of new media in Chinese media, education, business, etc. sectors.

Here are my picks (in no particular order) from this year's conference program:

Zhang Lei's talk on How does Social Collaboration Change the Practice of Translation? (社会协作力量如何改变翻译格局)

Art 1.5: "Digital" Art (艺术1.5:"电子"艺术).

NGOs in the Internet Era: Understanding and Realizing the Impact and
Value of Information Technology / Web 2.0 on Social Work (互联网时代的NGO——了解和实现IT/WEB2.0对于社会性工作的影响和价值)

Grassroots Media and Professional Media (草根媒体与专业媒体)

Micro-blogging and Its Potential (微Blogging和潜力)
