#WIN15 a hit among bloggers and on social media
On a cloudy Sunday morning of 20th September, bloggers, aspiring bloggers and brands convened at JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar for the second edition of WIN Blogging Conference and Awards to learn the different dimensions of blogging, brands and their integration in an effective manner.

 #WIN15 succeeded in engaging bloggers. This was evident in the fact that Twitter exploded with quotable statements by the speakers as attendees rushed to share their experience.

With the intent of giving the power of blogging in people’s hands, the first half of #WIN15 saw speakers like Lakshmi Pratury, Rezwan Islam, Anaggh Desai, Prashant Challapalli, Harini Calamur, Sruthijith KK, Rezwan Islam, Aditya Magal and Ashok Lalla talk about the evolution and power of blogging, the connect between brands and blogs and ways in which brands and bloggers can benefit each other.

#WIN15 Awards honoured excellence in blogging across 16 categories ranging from Fashion & Lifestyle to Political, Personal and Creative Writing.

Game of Blogs, the first collaborative blogging book to be published in India, was also unveiled to the world by Suchitra Krishnamoorthi and Natasha Badhwar at #WIN15. The book, titled 6 Degrees, contains stories written by 3 winning teams of the Game of Blogs activity at BlogAdda.
