Travel BlogCamp

I have often grumbled and ranted about the state of the British rail network but today I am sat on a train that is on time and has free Wi-Fi access, yes free, are you reading this hotels and airports? So it’s not the fasted connection but it’s allowing me to catch up with emails and write blog posts.

Attending World Travel Market

This week I am in London for World Travel Market and Travel BlogCamp. It’s going to be an interesting week, and probably one of the few times of the year where I appear from behind the laptop to network with people face-to-face.

Offline networking not my best skill

I am not at my best offline networking, being short means I end up with a stiff neck, but, it’s good to put faces to names. You have two options at WTM; either wander around the exhibitions stalls, of which they are over 4,000 or spend time in the free seminars.

Here are three that I will be attending.

Tuesday

11:00 – 12:00 Online and Onsale

12:30 – 13:30 Content Matters

Wednesday

11:00 – 12:00 Social media for marketers: Unpicking the 2.0 hype

I will be recording some live videos, taking photos and tweeting from ExCeL until Thursday.

Travel BlogCamp format

Obviously, on Tuesday night I along with Kevin May at Tnooz will be host of Travel BlogCamp. The format has slightly changed this year, in that we have two more speakers, a moderator and a Q&A session with the sponsors.
