It's all about the SHWAG!

Okay, well it's not ALL about the SHWAG or the parties or even the networking, but those are all side benefits to being a part of the TBEX '10 extravaganza! When Kim Mance and I started working on TravelBlogExchange.com we hoped that a conference like the one many of you are about to attend would be in the plans, but we never dreamed it would happen so soon. But for every perk there for a travel blogger, there is a great company behind it trying to spread the word or buzz about their product or service.

Now all of our incredible sponsors make this conference possible and we want to give credit where credit is due. Check out some of the cool shwaggy (yes I am very much overusing that word) stuff you'll be getting and the awesome companies giving it to you!

First up, we owe a huge debt of gratitude to Tourism BC for coming through with bags to hold all this great stuff. Our original bag sponsor backed out at the last minute and we were saved by our gracious friends up North.

What it will be filled with is still a mystery but based on the amount of shipments currently overtaking the EuroCheapo office (sorry!), they'll be filled to the brim. A very special thank you to our "swag bag sponsors":

Weber Shandwick Travel and Lifestyle

GoGo Inflight Internet

Savvy Navigator

Hayworth Creative

Fly much? Just kidding, of course you do. One of the most popular gifts from last year is back. Free GoGo Inflight Codes. Now you can blog about how amazing TBEX '10 is on your flight home.

And don't forget that all of our other great sponsors are making their own contributions to your bags!

Comment by TBEX Admin on June 24, 2010 at 12:49pm: Sorry no, it's just a very nice gift bag. I would keep your backpack handy as the bags are already STUFFED to capacity. Not kidding at all. Stuffed.

Comment by Lisa Lubin on June 24, 2010 at 12:45pm: Wow. Sounds great! I am wondering--should i even bring a backpack (with my laptop) to the first day on Saturday?? Or is this "bag" a backpack that i can slip my laptop into?? It would be great to know so many of us aren't lugging 2 bags around at the party later. Thanks!!!

Comment by TBEX Admin on June 24, 2010 at 12:40pm: @Nancy Brown. We will be tweeting out sponsor handles, posts and pics as the weekend goes on. So keep an eye on @marenhogan, @kimmance, @courtneyisneato, @shannaquinn, @galavanting and especially @tbex10!

@Donna, yes, from what I hear, all the swag won't even FIT in the bags. *disclaimer: TBEX and its affiliates are not responsible for checked bag fees on return flights :)

@Guido. Thanks! And thanks for putting together the awesome TBEX twitter list. I bet you're swamped with people wanting to be added to it! I know I am!

@Robert- That's what she said

Comment by Robert Reid on June 24, 2010 at 9:59am: 'Shwag' makes me blush.

Comment by Pamela Weis on June 23, 2010 at 6:37pm: Wow. So sad that I won't be there! Maybe next year.

Comment by Guido J. van den Elshout (aka Happy Hotelier) on June 22, 2010 at 8:26pm: Good luck Maren with the final preparations!

Comment by Donna Hull on June 22, 2010 at 2:12pm: Thanks for telling us, Maren. Looks like I might be checking a bag on the return flight. Like Nancy, I'm happy to tweet the good word for these generous sponsors.
