SUMMARY:2026 Midwest Travel Network Conference - McHenry County\, IL
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Midwest Travel Network conference on June 11-13\, 2026\, in McHenry County\, IL. You’ll learn new skills and industry trends through dynamic educational sessions. You’ll also enjoy abundant networking opportunities with your colleagues and the unique experiences you’ll find in this great small town with a big-city attitude. \nOur community is important to us\, and we continue to bridge the gap between bloggers and our destination partners. We will bring everyone together to foster stronger connections and share our stories. \nA trade show\, breakout sessions\, and networking opportunities await attendees. We recommend securing your spot early. \nBreakout sessions will be divided into 2 tracks – Blogger and CVB/DMO. Bloggers will learn best practices for building lasting relationships with CVB’s/DMO’s\, SEO\, and tips on setting yourselves apart from the competition. For the CVB track\, you can expect sessions to include tips on working with bloggers\, tips for hosting a successful fam trip\, and best practices for getting your Midwest destination noticed. \nAttendees can expect to make meaningful connections while walking away with creative ideas that can be quickly implemented. \nTestimonials from a previous Midwest Travel Network Conference: \nFrom Blogger: \n“Attending the 2018 Midwest Travel Network Conference was one of the best investments I’ve ever made in my career as a travel blogger…The other aspect of the conference that I really appreciated was the chance to connect with fellow travel bloggers – some of whom I’ve been following online for years online and chatting with via the Facebook group… \n…In addition\, conference organizers Sara Broers and Lisa Trudell did an excellent job of working with the local CVB to highlight the conference destination of Clear Lake\, IA including catering delicious local food and coordinating a fascinating tour of the historic conference venue (the Surf Ballroom). I’m already looking forward to what they have planned for the 2019 conference in Medora\, ND – Stacy Brooks – Tangled Up in Food \nFrom Destination/Brand \n“Emily Bertram who attended your conference in Iowa came back raving about this event. We have seen such a great ROI from this conference and travel bloggers interested in visiting St. Cloud.” – Rachel Thompson\, Sales and Services Coordinator at Visit St. Cloud \nLisa and Sara \nCo-Founders of Midwest Travel Network \nhttps://www.naturallymchenrycounty.com/ \nHow can I contact the organizer with any questions? \nPlease send an email to midwesttravelbloggers@gmail.com \nWhat’s the refund policy? \nNo refunds will be allowed for this event. \nIs my registration fee or ticket transferrable? \nYes. For a $15 administration fee\, you may transfer the ticket. However\, tickets are not refundable. To transfer your ticket\, simply log into your Eventbrite account and change your name and email address to the new ticket holder’s name and address.
