Travel Blog Exchange (TBEX) announced a travel blogger meet-up to coincide with Blogher ’09 on Sunday,  July 26th, from 9am to 1pm in Chicago, Illinois. The meet up is hosted by Kim Mance, founder of TBEX and  GoGalavanting.com and Debbie Dubrow of DeliciousBaby.com. Here is how they describe the event:

“All travel bloggers are welcome and the event will be free of charge to all attendees. The networking event will feature discussions on topics like:
◈ Keeping a blog alive when not traveling
◈ Attracting advertisers
◈ Balancing ethics with PR freebies
◈ Using video in travel blogging
◈ Blogging vs. Travel Writing“

I attended a travel blogger meeting at Blogher in San Francisco, 2008.  It was fun, informative and offered the opportunity to connect with other travel bloggers sharing similar goals and problems. It was invaluable.  I highly recommend attending.
