Team Blog Hui met at the May 2005 Blogtalk Downunder in Sydney. They decided that if a blog conference could work in Austria and in Australia, well, it could work in Aotearoa-New Zealand. Initial discussions with Mark Bernstein took place and the seeds of the idea were carefully rested over the long, hard winter in order to fully germinate.
In spring, the sun warmed the good earth and soon those seeds planted back in May began to sprout, to activate!
Blog Hui was alive!
