Link Round Up for TBEX North America 2019 in Billings, Montana

We gathered for TBEX North America 2019 in Montana’s Big Sky Country, where sandstone rimrocks that were formed by oceanic waters 80 million years ago rise to meet vast windswept plains and endless skies. Where a mere 1 million years ago, fast moving waters of what became Yellowstone River forged a deep path through the floor of those rims. We gazed starry eyed at the Milky Way Galaxy, explored gorgeous natural beauty along the Scenic Beartooth Highway, and reveled in the iconic American history of Little Bighorn Battlefield. We dined on savory farm-to-fork meals and connected over award-winning craft beer and cider. And we soon discovered that this region in southern Montana is home to terrain and wilderness as stunningly unique and diverse as we could possibly imagine. Yes, we quickly fell in love with the wide open, breathtaking beauty of Montana.

We partied at Camelot Ranch where members of the local Crow tribe gave a riveting performance. We danced to the music of Paige and the Peoples Band at The Pub Station, and we immersed ourselves in local history and culture at Billings Depot. We were profoundly moved and inspired by y Travel Blog’s Caz Makepeace in her Opening Keynote Address, “How to Create Your Dream Life”.

We also learned – valuable information for mastering our preferred media and publishing platforms. We discovered proven methods for honing our craft, marketing our content, and strengthening our brand. We gleaned advice and techniques from industry experts for capitalizing on a sound business strategy, and we connected with brands in collective partnerships. That’s what brings content creators, tourism brands and travel influencers to TBEX, and what keeps them coming back time after time.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, TBEX IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE. PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
