Happy Holidays to the entire TBEX community, from everyone on the TBEX and NMX staff! We hope your holidays are full of good food, relaxation, and time spent with those you love – and, of course, plenty of travel planning.
Familiar TBEX Faces on the NMX Stage
As most of you know, TBEX was acquired by BlogWorld & New Media Expo earlier in 2012. What you may not realize is that there was already a bit of overlap between the two conferences in terms of the people who grace the stage. Many TBEX speakers have been presenters at past BlogWorld events – including yours truly – and there’s a host of TBEX speakers in the line-up for the 2013 New Media Expo event next month in Las Vegas.
Happy Thanksgiving from TBEX
Happy Thanksgiving!
We’ve been following your posts, tweets, and status updates about everything that you’re thankful for, and now we want to share thoughts on that from the TBEX staff.

New Media Expo Launches #NMXU Scholarship
There may be relatively low barriers to entry when it comes to starting a blog, but in order to get to the next level of blogging success sometimes there are investments to make. For many bloggers, that includes attending a blogging conference in order to meet and learn from the people who have blazed the trail. The price tag on big conferences can be cost-prohibitive for some bloggers just starting out, which is why we’re excited to announce today the launch of the New Media Expo University Scholarship.
Welcome TBEX Community Manager, Jessica Spiegel
Who has the best travel community around? TBEX! I’d even hazard a guess to say that it’s the best darned community around period, regardless of niche.
