Blogging Festival in Iran: "Attempting to form a society of the web Persian content providers, this festival tries to improve the quality of the published information by the means of discussing sessions, roundtables and the exhibition. This festival, backed by the PersianBlog team, as the greatest Farsi weblog provider, and the National Youth Organization of Iran, is the first practical attempt for sponsoring the bloggers and internet magazines."

Sounds interesting. Is this likely to be affected by the increasing conservative crackdown in Iran? (I, um, trust you had nothing to do with the organization of the festival.)
