Okay enough about me, If you missed my Day1 Experience, you can read it HERE
Now, Its Day 2 and I didn't go with my Nikon Camera, pretty bad but cool I got some pics from WABC Twitter page and google --- The guy to take on the first lecture was a fair young guy,
Donnie Franklin Ozekhome who is also a blogger talked from a blogger point of view, most the speakers has been brand management guru.
Donnie was on point talking about the DO's and DONT's in blogging, how to stand out as a blogger, tasking everyone to do something great because if a blogger or a writer is not a brand, He is a commodity.
I think there is no how you will talk about blogging without talking BRAND, both works Together and I do not think any experienced blogger can put asunder, they still have to say a thing about it.
Donnie Quoted Rian Hughes
"To understand consumers, you must understudy the culture in which they occupy"
Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade (Manage Communication And Public Relations-- GoogleNig.)
Kola is jovial, no doubt about that, but most important thing was what He talked about and that's "Intellectual property and the web(Copyright Infringement)". Now the goals were to get us to start thinking about the issues...,Drive an open conversation around it, shared his experiences home and abroad.
Taiwo Talked about Yomi Black [the Vlogger] and his parody of MI's Chairman Video, He also talked about "Gone with the Wind" and how Alice Bandall was able to do her own parody and named the novel "The Wind Done Gone".
He defined copyright infringement with the help of a projector He was able to carry everyone along. It was an interactive session, Bloggers got the chance to ask load of questions about this. We know a lot of bloggers out there would like to know what they've done wrong, the crime you commit by copy pasting and how you need to go about it.
After the issue about the crime facing Copy paste which changed the mood of some bloggers, The interesting thing was the Escape root Mr. Taiwo put out "FAIR USE".
"Now FAIR USE is the idea that should be Okay for a person to copy small part of something that another person have created without breaking the law "- Google CertifiedHe also expatiate on creative Commons, How to protect your youtube videos, protected digital works on individual and compilation.

Jonathan Doerr ( MD, Jumia)
Now, Jona [not the presido] is this white sarcastic guy who started his lecture by greeting everyone in yoruba "EkaSan(Good Afternoon)" Great dude but his mission was more of advert based lecture, since they the major sponsor, ---do We have a choice---.
