TBEX EUROPE 2017 KILLARNEY, IRELAND, OCTOBER 3-5, 2017 #TBEXIreland

SHARE YOUR STORY, LINK ROUND UP FOR TBEX EUROPE 2017 IN KILLARNEY, IRELAND

We met for #TBEXIreland in the land of stories where iconic cliffs have been sculpted by the wild Atlantic surf crashing below. Where ancient tombs and tumbled stone remnants of houses built thousands of years ago spin a powerful narrative of life, death, struggle, and immense courage. Where sheep instinctively wander and graze the vast spans of fertile, emerald-green farmland, and residents are fiercely proud of their familial ancestry, their Gaelic culture, and the sacred soil on which they’ve lived for multitudes of generations.

We also learned – valuable information for mastering our preferred media and publishing platforms. We discovered proven methods for honing our craft, marketing our content, and strengthening our brand. We gleaned advice and techniques from industry experts for capitalizing on a sound business strategy. And we connected with brands in collective partnerships. That’s what brings bloggers, vloggers and social media influencers to TBEX, and what keeps them coming back time after time.

But most importantly, TBEX is about the people. People like you.

We want to hear your story about #TBEXIreland. Whether it’s a story about the conference, the breakout sessions, a party, or what you learned that is changing how you work and grow. Whether it’s a story about someone you met, a business deal you arranged, or an idea you have for a new project. Whether it’s an experience from a pre-bex activity, a post-bex FAM trip, or whether you connected something about Ireland to the ongoing narrative of your personal travels. Please share the content you created for #TBEXIreland as a result of your experiences with TBEX Europe 2017.

From Killarney to Kenmare, Are We on a Fairy Path?

Few places have impressed me as much as Ireland’s Killarney, with its breathtaking landscapes and welcoming people. While in Killarney, you can’t be anywhere else than in the now. Hostage to green pastures, misty mountains and clear waters, your mind can’t escape the spell. The sensation is similar to what you can feel on Mount Olympus in Greece, or in the Saklikent Gorge in Turkey. This is the story of a one-day trip around Killarney, a glimpse into the promise of a wonderful road trip on the Ring of Kerry I’ve just added to my bucket list, and you should, too.

I’m on a bus from Killarney to Kenmare, with a group I’ve just met. We are all travel aficionados, willing to improve our craft for offering you, the reader, a better representation of the world. We are here to attend the TBEX conference. Maureen, the wondrous representative of our hosts, Failte Ireland, shares with us an old Irish adage that instantly sets my mood to relaxed: “When God made the time, he made plenty of it.” Unlike ancient Irish people, most of us seem to have forgotten it, concerned with chasing gold and glory rather than with taking pleasure from life.
