TBEX'09 Travel Blogger's Meetup Speaker List

For the past several weeks, Kim Mance and I have been hard at work recruiting speakers for TBEX'09 on July 26th in Chicago. I have to admit, even though we selected, emailed and talked with each of the speakers, now that I see the final list all in one place I'm feeling a little bit star-struck. If I were hosting a dinner party to talk about travel, blogging and... travelblogging these are exactly the people I would hope to invite. I simply cannot wait to be in the same room with everyone in Chicago.

Kim and I will be moderating panel sessions on issues like: the difference between travel journalism and blogging; keeping a lively travel blog; working with PR professionals and balancing ethics; and using your trip video footage to become a vlogger. If you want to join the conversation with the fascinating set of people who will speak at or attend the meetup, I hope you will RSVP for TBEX'09 here.
