WordCamp Malaysia was a blast, with more attendees than I expected. Overall I would say that event was very well organized, with all sessions starting on time.

Niche Blogging panel session by FriedBeef, Hong Kiat and Liew CF. I was surprised to hear than none of them do much affiliate marketing.

Malaysia’s top tech / design blogger, Hong Kiat. His blog gets about 120,000 impressions per day.

The group photo at the end. Some participants have already left by then, so there were actually much more people than you see here.

For the first time ever, WordCamp is being held in Malaysia.

WordCamp focuses on everything WordPress. WordCamps are usually informal, community-centric and a whole load of fun to be at. WordCamp is for everyone with an interest in the WordPress platform.
