\"TravelCon
\nPosted:<\/strong> 3\/5\/2019 | March 5th, 2019<\/p>\n

With less than four months to go, I wanted to give you another update on our upcoming travel industry conference, TravelCon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, let me tell you about some recent updates: <\/p>\n

First, we finalized our speaker list (I mean I may<\/em> add a few more in but this is as the final big announcement). With over 60 speakers, this event is going to be amazing and we’re going to cover a lot of incredible topics: SEO, monetization, video production, webinars, Instagram, photo editing, writing, livestreaming, FB ads, photography, marketing, self-publishing, time management, and so much more! I mean we have three FULL days of events, talks, panels, and networking! <\/p>\n

Since we last spoke, we added the following speakers:<\/p>\n
