Social Media Talk At WTM

Four bgb sponsored the social media session at World Travel Market this year.

Last week, the Travel Bloggers Unite conference landed in Innsbruck, Austria and Four bgb was the event's official PR partner. Following an exceptionally successful debut conference in Manchester in March 2011, the event has been gathering speed and reputation with incredible pace.  With a schedule of travel blogging-centric debates, workshops and raucous networking sessions, the debate has firmly grasped the attention of some of the world's leading travel bloggers and journalists as well tourist boards, travel companies, SEO, digital and PR agencies alike.
