The crew from the This Week in Travel podcast has recorded live shows at past TBEX conferences, and they took the stage again in Toronto during the closing general session. This time, hosts Gary Arndt, Chris Christensen, and Jen Leo had the never-understated Spud Hilton as their guest, and they also got help from TBEX speaker Leif Pettersen, who made sure the podcasters all had something cold to drink before they dug into the topics at hand.

Travel Blogger Exchange: Toronto Welcomes You to TBEX
A year ago we won the opportunity to host TBEX in Toronto. It’s the kind of event every destination wants to host. We’d do it every year if they’d let us. At the time, TBEX was a 600-person conference growing quickly to meet the new professionalism of blogging.
TBEX Sponsor Post: Content Partnerships: Blogs and Brands Working Together
How do I work with a brand? How do I work with a blogger? For some TBEX attendees, those are two of the top questions they are looking to have answered in Toronto.
“Even if you’re starting with a template, be sure to target it to the specific client. Brands want to work with bloggers who show a genuine interest in and understanding of the product or location they’re aiming to work with. Brands, you’re not off the hook – the same holds true for you. Don’t reach out to bloggers with a one-size-fits-all proposition.” – Kent & Caanan, No Vacation Required
