For every person who is active on Twitter and loves it, I find another who says, “Yes, I have an account, but I really don’t get it.”
What if I could find one thing that pleases both? Something that helps the tweeting aficionado step up his/her game AND that helps the 140-character-challenged twoosh with joy (a twoosh is a tweet that is exactly 140 characters.)
At Tilley Endurables, we have always believed that there is much more to travel than simply checking sights off a list. From the sounds, the smells, the food, the culture, the people you meet, to the journey to get there, there are so many travel experiences through which we can learn valuable lessons. Here’s a selection of things we’ve learned from our own travels and those of our clients.
Kicking off TBEX 13 in Toronto will be keynote speaker Trey Ratcliff, renowned HDR photographer. We’re very excited that Trey will join us, challenging and encouraging us to look at the world around us through the eyes of an artist.
TBEX Conference Director Mary Jo Manzanares was on the This Week in Travel podcast recently talking about the upcoming TBEX event in Toronto. You can listen to the audio on the bottom link, or watch all the participants chat on the video. We’re particularly excited that veteran TBEXer and travel writer Jen Leo had to say about it:
Greetings and salutations! I’d like to be the first to congratulate you on your courage and bravery. It takes guts to be able to lay it all out there for us to observe and critique, but stepping forward is the first step to a better blog or website.
Do I have to be a blogger to attend? What if I’m a podcaster?
TBEX is about “the future of travel media” – and that’s media of all kinds. We welcome bloggers, podcasters, videographers, photographers – as well as people who want to learn more about any of those things. TBEX attendees also include travel industry representatives such as destinations, PR agencies, tour companies, travel products, and more.
If you have been to a travel conference or trade show of any kind, you know that you will walk out with stacks of business cards. Everyone you meet gives you one. So if you are like me, you put a rubber band around them and throw them in your luggage. Then what do you do with them?
Many of you logged into Blogger Bridge on Monday to fill out your profiles, and even more of you logged in today to schedule appointments for speed dating. So many, in fact, that we broke outgoing mail on the server. This was, of course, the critical piece at the root of sending and receiving invitations for appointments as well as messages.
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.
I met Andrew Dobson during a site visit to Toronto. His energy, love for the city, and fabulous food recommendations convinced me that he would be a great addition to our TBEX line up, as we expand our reach into the food and culinary niches. With the theme of “Eat Well, Travel Hard, Live Better”, Andrew’s blog Dobbernation Loves serves up slices of life and food around the world.
