BLOGGERS meet

2. Our goal?
To mobilize and assist bloggers
with promoting, monetizing and
improving their work and
influence, while helping PR and
Industry professionals target the
right content creators to benefit
their brands and destinations.
Engage the Influencers
The popular TBEX ‘13 conference is simply the best
opportunity for your company, client, destination or
organization to get in front of travel and lifestyle
bloggers, writers and new media creators. We expect
attendance of 800+ writers, and 200+ industry
professionals in June 2013.
Launched in 2008, TBEX quickly grew into a vibrant
community where travel writers, bloggers and PR and
industry professionals come to network and interact.
With our first conference in Chicago the following
Summer, we took the interactions from online to
in-person and the growth exploded.
The conferences successfully expanded into Europe in
2010 and the TBEX ‘11 Vancouver event sold out with
months to go before the event began.
There are many ways to get involved with sponsorship.
We encourage sponsors to “get active” with the
community and welcome your creative ideas. So get in
touch any time between now and June 1, 2013 if you or
a client are interested in coming on board as a sponsor,
or having your venue considered as a future TBEX
conference location.
