Salam Netizens, live blogger is in action once again and will be covering the International Social Media Summit live from Karachi, Pakistan, on June 11, 2011 from 9-6pm local time.

Wonder what Social Media Summit is all about? Read further the introduction to it that I have stolen from the summit’s invite email:

“With the sponsorship and assistance of several major technology companies, Intel and Raffles Systems and media partners Newsweek Pakistan, Express Media Group, City89FM, PC World and the U.S. Consulate General in Karachi, Network! Will gather together Pakistan’s top bloggers, Twitterati, netizens and other experts from the local social media scene with bloggers and social media experts from around the world for a day of interactive sessions designed to spark discussion, forge new connections and showcase the positive force that Pakistan’s active social media is.

Three exciting sessions in the morning of the 11th, on Education & Good Governance: Going Digital, Women & Social Activism in the New Media Era, and Monetizing your Social Media Space, will be followed by several breakout workshops throughout the afternoon. The idea of the summit is to enable a collective gathering of people from the Pakistani Blogosphere and how to enable them as well as understand better on bringing about a positive change through social media.

Joining us for the sessions will be prominent international bloggers, Ong Hock Chaun from Malaysia, Hanny K. and Nonandita P. from Indonesia, Rebecca Chiao and Mohamed El Dahshan from Egypt.”
