Travel Blog Exchange: TBEX Bids Farewell to Dublin

chris at registration TBEX Dublin

You came. You saw. You learned. You made new friends. You got business ideas and perhaps found prospective business partnerships. You drank Guinness and Irish whiskey. You managed to Go Wilde at the Expedia party. You stayed up too late and talked yourself hoarse.

Then – snap – it was all over.

We hope you think of the close of TBEX Dublin as a beginning and not an end. And we hope you fell in love with Ireland through it all.

As you bid farewell to Dublin, we hope you’ll share with us what you thought of TBEX and Ireland, what the experience was like for you, and whether we met your expectations.

This blog post will be repository of links to stories about TBEX Dublin, from the trips and activities, to the sessions and speakers, and everything in between. You can send your links by email to Mary Jo or Jessica (no need to send it to both of us), and we’ll get it added to this post. You can choose to leave a link in the comments here instead of emailing us (again again, no need to do all three), and we’ll add it to the post and then delete it from the comments section. We’ll be watching for your post, but please be patient as we all take a few days off for ourselves here in Ireland.

If you have blog posts about your experiences in Ireland, be sure to share those stories with our hosts here.

Thanks for coming to Dublin for TBEX Europe 2013. We hope to see you again next year!
