Are you planning to bring your family along with you to TBEX? Whether you’re a family travel blogger or you’re just taking advantage of an opportunity to explore our host city before or after the conference, here’s some information that you’ll need to know to help you decide how to best situate your family.

We’re very excited to announce that adventurer Erik R. Lindbergh, grandson of aviators Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, will be a keynote speaker at TBEX 13 in Toronto.

A commercial rated pilot, artist, entrepreneur, and master storyteller, Erik’s story is one of triumph over adversity. Erik won the all-around Washington State Gymnastics Championships at age 11 and excelled in water-skiing, and alpine and telemark ski competitions during his teens. After climbing and skiing Mount Rainier at age 21, he was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and by age 30 he could barely walk. During the late-1990s, knee replacements and a breakthrough biotechnology drug gave him a second chance at having an active life.

It’s time for some more speaker announcements for TBEX 13.  We’ll happy to announce the following people will be on stage in Toronto.
