In London for the Eye For Travel TDS 2016 conference

Last week I was in London for the Eye For Travel TDS (Travel Distribution) 2016 Conference.

In a panel conference, I gave a short presentation about the great opportunities there are for small publishers of high quality original content like us in this industry dominated by “user generated content”.

That was fun! I got to see the Hilton Tower Bridge from the inside for the conference (unfortunately my bed was in a hostel dorm room…), met many  interesting people and learned a lot about our exciting “industry” of travel.

Sitting on the dock of the bay. The inscription readers “There are two things scarce matched in the universe the sun in heaven and the Thames on earth. Sir Walter Raleigh”

Of course after the conference we met for a drink with the London Spotters. We had a great time at the cool “Mother Kelly’s” micro brewery!

The weather was lovely, so in the little spare time I had I walked around as much as I could. This time I concentrated especially on a one area I had not previously visited, but which turned out to be super cool: Hackney Wick, an area full of warehouses & street art. Trendy, but not so well known, so highly recommended! Check out the The Counter Cafe & Crate Brewery articles for a taste.
