Travel BlogCamp

Last week I launched the first Travel Learning Camp, it was an interesting experience and the feedback has been fantastic. What I liked about the session was that everyone participated and shared their experiences with social media. As with every travel event that I have been to in the last 12 months, Twitter was discussed at length.

Other topics discussed included:

» Consumer interaction
» How to create an authority blog
» Social media strategies and ideas
» Boosting engagement among followers
» Social media measurement tools

Rather than just sharing my own experiences it was a great opportunity for travel companies to network and interact with each other and learn about their experiences with social media. Everyone who attended was happy to share and I cannot remember any time where we stopped talking, other than to eat.

Lessons learnt

As with all of new events they were lessons learnt. Next time I would like to make use of the large screen/Wi-Fi facilitates so that attendee’s can talk about their blogs and communities and allow others to critique. Most of the attendee’s thought it would be good to extend it to five hours.

Good mixture of people

The session had a good mixture of people, from Travel PR and law, adventure travel/TEFL and flight specialist. I shared my experiences but I learnt a lot more from everyone else. The four hours went very quickly and The Chambers, our venue for the day was excellent. Thanks to all of the staff who helped on the day.

Thanks to the attendee’s for their support.
