NewcastleGateshead convention centre, Sage Gateshead, has won its bid to host Traverse Events’ Travel Bloggers Conference from 21 to 23 February 2014.
Brighton hosted the inaugural event in 2013 and benefited from a series of blog posts and a social media buzz following the conference. Sarah Stewart, the Chief Executive of destination management and marketing organisation, NewcastleGateshead Initiative, says next year’s event in NewcastleGateshead is attracting interest from some of the industry’s biggest travel bloggers.
“Sage Gateshead is the ideal venue for Traverse 14 because it provides a unique, creative and vibrant space, perfect for delivering an inspiring conference,” says Michael Ball from conference organiser, Traverse Events. “Our attendees are used to travelling the world and seeing amazing sights so we wanted to make sure that we had a venue with a great backdrop. With the Sage Gateshead and the River Tyne we have both of those elements, while NewcastleGateshead gives us the vibrant, energy filled, fun destination we were looking for.”
Conference speakers include Kash Bhattacharya, a VisitBritain Superblogger and better known as the ‘Budget Traveller’, as well as Portuguese Anna Silva O’Reilly, creator of the award-winning luxury travel blog ‘Mrs O’ Around the World’. Both bloggers will be sharing their expertise with delegates throughout the conference programme.
The conference will be centred around the destination’s famous quayside. A welcome reception will take place on 21 February on the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art’s river terrace, affording views across the Gateshead Millennium Bridge and River Tyne.
Sage Gateshead will host the main conference programme throughout the day on 22 February. The event programme will wrap up with a working breakfast on Sunday morning.
“We’re excited to welcome the delegates and are confident that we will provide the perfect creative home for the UK’s leading bloggers, PRs, tourist boards and travel companies in attendance,” says Head of Conference and Events at Sage Gateshead, Anna Stacy. “We’ll be listening closely to the top tips being shared and you can be sure we’ll also be tweeting about what is set to be a fantastic three-day event.”
