IndiBlogger.in has hosted over 70 blogger meets across the country in the last 5 years. These blogger meets are informal events where bloggers connect with other bloggers on-ground. Most bloggers know each other through blogs and have even become friends but often they do not get to meet. IndiBlogger.in meets gives them an opportunity to put a face to the name.
