Finally, the Nuffnang Bloggers’ Symposium, sponsored by Canon, is over. It was touted as the first Bloggers’ Symposium in Singapore and I was glad to be one of the guest speakers for it. From the turn out , it is a success. Here is my limited coverage of the event using Canon PowerShot S90 (the Blogger’s Camera 🙂 ).
I was there early to capture the crowd. It was amazing that people kept coming in. I overheard the security telling people “NO PHOTOGRAPHY”. Hello! It is a blogger cum photography event.
The Nuffnangers preparing for the crowd.
A close up of those stickers.
As you can see, the pink ones are for Wendy (XiaXue). There are over 300 people that had enrolled to attend her class. Here is one that Wendy helped to flatten before I took the pic.
In this Symposium, there is also a photography contest. the Top 5 pictures were selected and the audiences would have to vote for them.
BTW, here is a collage of the pictures sent in.
And here are the top 5 entries.
The voting cups.
Also, tucked in one corner is something that many had missed. It is a souvenir counter selling Canon’s cute product.
Here are some miniature Canon EOS DSLR and Legria Camcorders thumbdrives.
And some other miniatures.
As the time gets nearer, the crowd gets bigger.
Here is the goodies bag for each participant.
Guess what, before we enter the auditorium, the voting already started.
And before anyone can enter the auditorium, they had their minute of fame.
Finally, event started with our confident host.
Look at the crowd.
And now the top 5 photography entries talking about their picture and why they should win the Canon PowerShot S90.
This is my favorite (and guess what, he won the Canon PowerShot S90).
We even have a mummy with the baby on stage.
A sneak shot at Velda. She is trying to take some candid shots too.
After this, we break for some food. The queue was super long. Thanks to Huiwen, who managed to get some food for us (Leslie (IeatIshootIpost), Wendy (XiaXue) and me) before our classes.
I think the tag line for that afternoon is “I AM VERY NERVOUS”.
I hope that the class went well as everyone is quiet. I told my class that I will make sure that after the class, we still get connected and I am going to share those slides.

Thanks to everyone for their patience. Sorry that you guys and gals have to walk so far to reach the class.
Anyway, after the class, everyone got back to the auditorium for the prize giving and photo taking session. Here is Hisham and thank you very much for his support, including to helping us take the group shot.
And the group photo.
And that is it for the Successful Nuffnang Bloggers’ Symposium. Thanks for Nuffnang for the opportunity and Canon for the sponsor!
