Tell Your Travel Story at TBEX ‘10

Travel Blog  •  Pam Mandel  •  02.23.10 | 11:42 AM ET

It’s the hybrid offspring of a poetry slam and a reading. It’s a chance to share your remarkable travel story with a room full of people who really want to hear it—the bloggers attending the sold out Travelblog Exchange this summer in New York City. (As we’ve noted, World Hum is a media partner and will be there.) It’s the TBEX ‘10 Community Keynote.

The idea? A “best of the blogs” session that showcases amazing travel storytelling by independent bloggers. Your hosts and curators for the reading?  SkyMall expert Mike Barish and ukulele enthusiast Pam Mandel. And no, you don’t have to be at TBEX to participate. Any other questions you might have are probably answered on the submissions form.

Great narrative about travel often gets lost in a market that calls for top ten lists, packing tips and deals, writing that’s more copy than story. But narrative makes us tick. It’s why we blog about travel. We want to tell stories. The TBEX Community Keynote will give the spotlight to the kind of writing we love to read and love to write.

Want to be part of it? Submit your story for consideration here.
