Read or Die Convention 2007 @ Hotel Intercon Philippines
Wednesday, January 17th, 2007
The Reading Geek in me could not contain himself when he saw the banner for the Read or Die Book Convention 2007. This is simply because book conventions are rather far and between in the Philippines. I was especially joyful (oh joy!) when I read about book swapping in their website (oh double joy!). If you are interested, read the information from their website below:
Welcome to RodCon 2007!
RodCon 2007 is a two-day literary convention organized by Read or Die Inc. in partnership with Powerbooks. The convention seeks to bring together readers, writers, publishers, government and school organizations and book dealers to highlight the importance of reading and literacy in building an open world for every Filipino through books. All proceeds of the event will be donated to AHON Foundation. The event is supported by the National Book Development Board, the Department of Education and UNICEF.
The event will take place on February 3 and February 4, 2007 at the Hotel Intercon (Ayala Avenue, Makati City). The convention will be open from 9AM to 8PM daily.
