What is The Social Travel Summit?
The Social Travel Summit (STS) is a unique conference that connects the travel industry with professional travel influencers. Each attendee, whether content creator or travel brand, is a key player during two days of high-level discussion about the future of online travel marketing.
Founded in 2014, the Summit is brought to you by the world’s leading professional travel influencer network, iambassador, in collaboration with Reiseblogger Kollektiv and Traveldudes. After each Summit, we publish a Think Tank report which guides the industry in achieving profitable online collaborative campaigns.
