Venerable travel writer Lola Akinmade will be sharing her knowledge with travel bloggers at the 1st ever TBEX Europe in Copenhagen.
The Venue:
In true TBEX fashion, we have chosen a unique ,historic and inspiring location for our first ever conference in Europe.TBEX Europe will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark Nov. 4-6th, at the Wallman’s Cirkusbygninen, or as we like to call it, Cirkus. This isn’t your average conference venue, this location was chosen because of it’s beauty and intrigue. It’s simply a feast for the eyes, and hopefully your blogs. We wanted to take our TBEX Europe attendees to more than just a conference room; you won’t find beige walls and projectors here. You will find color splashed everywhere, a trampoline that doubles as a screen and a lunch time show that will take your experience to a whole new level. This beautiful building was commissioned in 1885 and designed by H.W. Brinkogff, situated just by Radhuspladsen. Several circuses have used the building as their performance place during the winter season. The building is also used for concerts, theater performances and sports events. The Cirkus presents itself today in its original form, with ornaments by sculptor Frederik Hammeleff. The Cirkus is conveniently located downtown, close to our top hotel recommendations at….
