TBEX Asia 2026

TBEX Asia is part of the international TBEX (Travel Blog Exchange) series, one of the longest-running and most recognized gatherings for travel content creators, running since 2009. In 2026, the conference lands in Almaty for the first time — a city set against the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains that becomes part of the program itself, with organizers building in excursions to the Kök-Töbe cable car, the Shymbulak alpine resort, and the high-altitude Medeu skating rink.

Over four days, the event brings together travel bloggers, video creators, influencers, and photographers alongside industry counterparts — destination marketing organizations (DMOs), hotels, tour operators, and marketing agencies. The format combines:

• Educational sessions and workshops on content strategy, SEO, video, and monetization;
• Business meetings — direct pitching to brands and tourism boards;
• Networking events — parties and social activities each evening;
• Local tours — exclusive access to city and regional routes.

It suits both creators looking to monetize travel content and build new brand partnerships, and tourism-industry professionals looking to work more effectively with bloggers and influencers.
