What is going on with travel today? Airlines are throwing out all these new fees, hotel rooms start from $1, and everybody's twittering about it all from 35,000' up. Here at Jaunted, we make sense of it all for you with the latest news, our own tried-and-true travel experiences, and of course— any free WiFi codes to keep you connected. If you follow us on Twitter, Facebook, or just regular old right here, then why not follow us in real life for a night?

On Thursday, December 3, we're talking with a few top travel friends at the 92Y Tribeca. The event, "Travel Gets Social: The New World of Travel Media," brings together Bowen Payson, Virgin America Manager of Online and Digital Marketing, NY Times Frugal Traveler Matt Gross, Adam Wallace, New Media Director for Roger Smith Hotel and others, moderated by the man who started it all: Mark G. Johnson, founder of Jaunted, HotelChatter and VegasChatter.

All the details, after the jump.

Come and hang out with other travelers who need their travel news and reviews now, those whose interests can't be contained in a monthly publication. Join the site editors, including yours truly, for a real-time discussion on the ever changing world of online travel and how social media is changing the way travel is bought, sold, reviewed and experienced. Where are the travel deals and how do you find them right now? Furthermore, when you find those deals how can you possibly decide what to do while you are traveling in a time when your guidebook is old news the day it is printed?

Oh yes—and there is totally a bar at the 92Y Tribeca, with "beers from Brooklyn from Belgium," so we're thinking this event is a great start to a Manhattan evening out. Tickets are $12 per person, available online here, but we will be raffling off a pair of Virgin America tickets for anywhere they fly. Forget boring conferences and have a beer with us.

Event: Travel Gets Social, the New World of Travel Media
Date: Thursday, December 3
Time: 7:00pm
Location: 92Y Tribeca, 200 Hudson Street near Vestry St, New York, NY 10013
