It seems like we were just getting excited about going to Spain and now TBEX Europe is a thing of the past. It came and went, and in between there was plenty of great food, opportunities for learning and to do business, and plenty of fun. But don’t take our word for it, read what others are saying. (And while you’re at it, why not register for TBEX 13 in Toronto.)
The Human Tower Featured at TBEX Opening Night Party
This human tower was built amidst much cheering from the crowd:
Girona Castle Party in Pictures
We looked forward to the opening night party at Castell de Sant Gregori for weeks, and it did not disappoint. The setting was beautiful, the food was excellent (not to mention full of surprises), and the entertainment was spectacular. Enjoy these few images from the party, with more to come in the TBEX Flickr pool and Facebook page as more people download images from their phones!
Barcelona’s Mosaic of Neighborhoods
Erica Gutiérrez is from L.A., but she’s been living in Barcelona for long enough that her suggestion for a guest post for the TBEX blog was an overview of three of the city’s neighborhoods. On this virtual walk, you’ll begin to get a picture of historic Barcelona – so when you wander the city streets either before or after TBEX this year, keep Erica’s words in mind!
Girona Checklist for Attendees
I dunno about you, but ’round the virtual TBEX offices we’re counting down the days until Girona. In the giddiness that surrounds an upcoming trip, however, we don’t want you to forget something important. So here’s a pre-Girona checklist to make sure you’ve done everything you need to do before you show up in Spain.
Girona, Travel Massive & TBEX Post-Conference Party
We’re very excited to partner with Travel Massive and the city of Girona for what we believe is the first organized post-TBEX party.
El Celler de Can Roca Welcomes TBEX to the Castle
If you were excited about the opening night party at St. Gregory’s Castle, this news is really going to WOW you! The menu and food for the evening is being prepared and served by the famous restaurant El Celler de Can Roca.
Girona Offers Free City Tours to TBEX Attendees
The city of Girona has an illustrious history. It’s undergone 25 sieges, been captured 7 times, and been devastated by disease and famine. The defensive walls of the city were taken down to allow for expansion, although recently some of the walls have been reconstructed. The city of Girona wants to share this fascinating history with TBEX attendees with a FREE city tour that will familiarize visitors with the city’s Old Town and Jewish Quarter (in photo), the colored houses along the river, and the surroundings of the Cathedral, among other hidden spots.
TBEX Meetups Around the World: September 21-22, 2012
TBEXers are a global group – I’d love to see a chart of how many time zones we represent at any given moment – but that means that not everyone will be able to be at every event. Such is certainly the case for the upcoming TBEX conference in Girona. We’ve been seeing notes on Twitter and Facebook for awhile now from people who are threatening (in jest, I think? I hope?) to block the #TBEX hashtag so they aren’t being constantly reminded of what they’re missing in Girona.
TBEX Europe Heads to the Beach
After the first day of educational sessions at TBEX Europe, we’ll be heading to the beach for a party with Expedia that includes food, music, and a few surprises. We know that Expedia knows how to throw a great party, and this is shaping up to be another great event.
