NATJA’S 2009 annual conference of travel writers and photographers was held in Cleveland, Ohio, June 2–5. Sponsored by Positively Cleveland, the state of Ohio, the DoubleTree Hotel Cleveland Downtown/ Lakeside, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, The Cleveland Museum of Art and the House of Blues, it was 72 hours of learning and laughter. Powerhouse presenters such as National Geographic Traveler editor, Keith Bellows, PBS’ Emmy-winning Weekend Explorer Jeffrey Lehmann, GateHouse Media travel editor Fran Golden, travel columnist/blogger and National Geographic Traveler ombudsman Christopher Elliott and TravelMuse.com CEO Kevin Fliess punctuated the need for change in travel journalism.
