If you want to meet face-to-face with leading Travel Bloggers from around the world and talk to them about your business, you will find them at TBEX. Last year attendees came from 36 different countries.

You’ll get to mingle with the travel industry’s social media leaders, enjoy 2 full days of networking with your peers and soak up countless tips and new strategies.

The level of influence each Blogger has over their audience is something that can’t be bought, traded or exchanged but it can be tapped into and leveraged during TBEX.

Travel bloggers come to TBEX to meet new sponsors and vendors for their blogs, to learn more about the art of travel writing, and how to deliver more value for the sponsors who support their business.

“The (viral) content your travel bloggers produce each day – videos, photos, written content – is at a premium for brands.”

Amy Jackson, Tripit.com

“TBEX is the world’s main meeting point for travel bloggers, writers and new media content creators, and for the Costa Brava being the host of the event has been a huge opportunity, incomparable to any other. Celebrating TBEX in our area has allowed us to greet travel bloggers from all around the world and specialized in all kinds of subjects, which has meant a great chance to meet them and show them the best that we have to offer. During and after TBEX, we realize how successful the event has been in terms of promotion, as the destination has achieved a lot of exposure and coverage all over the globe.”

Jaume Marin, Marketing Director, Costa Brava Board of Tourism – Costa Brava, Spain
TBEX, you sure are a prolific lot. You generated more than 31,000 tweets and 6,000 photos on Instagram in a 96-hour period. And counting. Trying to work through it is like taking a sip from Niagara Falls.All that social activity is about sharing experiences and inviting people who may be in the same room or continents away to join you for the ride. It’s the very essence of travel journalism and collectively the TBEX community is leading the way, harnessing new technology to bring travel to life in ways we never before imagined.

It is clear how committed the community is to individual and collective improvement. Every session was packed to the doors (and sometimes beyond) and every one was followed by long lines to ask more questions of the speakers. I’ve had a front-row seat over the past year as the Blogworld team assembled the program and built the conference. I saw from day one how they viewed the content, structure and experience from the delegates’ eyes and created a program to inspire and educate.
