TRAVELCON IS BACK!
Posted: 10/7/21 | October 7th, 2021
Sme späť! After taking a two-year break because of COVID-19, I’m thrilled to reveal that we’ve started planning our next TravelCon. TravelCon is our three-day travel media event that focuses on assisting you enhance your craft, discover new company skills, network with your coworkers, as well as linking you with all the remarkable brands as well as tourism boards that attend!
Last month, the events team as well as I went to Memphis for a site see to examine the seminar space, look at venues for celebrations as well as meet-ups, as well as begin planning what is going to be a significant event.
TravelCon will be on April 29th-May 1st, 2022 as well as will function pre- as well as post-event trips, a scavenger hunt, composing as well as picture workshops, as well as in-depth, actionable talks.
Today, I want to share a few of the details, our very first round of speakers, as well as ticket sign-up information.
At TravelCon, you can:
Improve your craft in the four major areas of travel: video, photography, writing, as well as blogging
Learn what’s hot, what works, as well as what doesn’t in the industry
Keep present on the very best methods in digital travel publishing
Learn about new products as well as services in the industry
Meet destinations as well as travel brands
Learn from professionals outside the travel industry
Make connections with other travel lovers
Have a ton of fun!!!
What can you expect?
This year, we’re making some modifications as well as improving on what we’ve already built. First, we’re adding an market track for DMOs as well as pr brands to ensure that they can discover while at the event too. Second, we’re decreasing the number of panels we have to ensure that there is less talk as well as much more actionable suggestions on exactly how to enhance your business. Third, we’re getting rid of our second-night celebration so you can spend much more time networking at our niche meet-ups as well as checking out the city. Fourth, we’re adding in a scavenger search around the city where winners will get significant prizes. And, finally, we’re adding a bigger focus on sustainability as well as diversity in our talks.
We’re thrilled about all the changes!

Nepamätáte si cestovné poistenie
Cestovné poistenie vás bude chrániť pred chorobou, zranením, krádežou a zrušením. Je to rozsiahla bezpečnosť v situácii, čokoľvek sa pokazí. Nikdy som nešiel na výlet bez toho, pretože som ho v minulosti musel mnohokrát využívať. Moje preferované podnikanie, ktoré ponúkajú najlepšie služby a hodnotu, sú:
Safetywing (najlepšie pre všetkých)
Zaistite moju cestu (pre tých nad 70 rokov)
Medjet (pre ďalšie pokrytie evakuácie)
