TBEX is short for The Travel Bloggers Exchange. It is a meetup started by Kim Mance of GoGalavanting.com and Debbie Dubrow of DeliciousBaby.com to connect travel bloggers with each other and offer them resources so that they can advance their own blogging. The first TBEX meetup is taking place in Chicago on July 26, 2009 and it is S-O-L-D…O-U-T. The Travel Bloggers Exchange is also an online meeting place for travelers.
Here is the schedule and speaker lineup. I’ll be on a panel between 1:00-1:45 p.m.
Travel Journalism vs. Blogging - is it all just writing?
Panelists:
Wendy Perrin (@wendyperrin) - Conde Nast Traveler Magazine
Jen Leo (@jenleo) - LA Times Daily Deal Blog
Chris Elliott (@elliottdotorg) - Nat’l Geographic Traveler’s ombudsman and columnist for MSNBC.com
Rosalind Cummings-Yeates - Far-Sighted Fly Girl
Watch from home: If you’re not in Chicago at TBEX, follow along with the Livestream and Twitter feed from the comfort of your own desktop, laptop or mobile phone.
I’ll be tweeting from the event and from all sorts of fun stuff outside of the event like the Cubs game (Sat. 12:05 p.m. - come on out!) with @sekeener from BootsnAll, one of the TBEX sponsors. Just DM me if you make it to the game. Would love to meet you!
