The event platform used for AdventureELEVATE is called ATTA Compass. It will be your guide now and throughout the event and is available as a desktop version and as a mobile app, available as a free download for iOS and for Google Play. This is where you will be able to network with delegates, see the full agenda, and much more. Having the ATTA Compass ready to go before the event means you will be prepared on-site to have the best experience.
The AdventureELEVATE networking platform will open on or around 23 April. You’ll receive a welcome email from ATTA Compass with instructions on how to login and set up your profile. Please make sure you have added ATTA Compass to your safe senders’ list so that you do not miss important notifications.
Do you need help getting started? Check out the Participant Guide and Mobile App Tutorial Video. If you have trouble navigating through the platform, please review the FAQs on the event platform, where you can also ask questions – or email [email protected]
For information about the Marketplace, please see below.
*If you are a destination or tour operator with a marketplace table for the MarketPlace session (22 and 23 May), you must log into the ATTA Compass App, and create your profile no later than 4 May to receive a pre-scheduled set of meetings. If you do not log in and create your profile, you will miss the opportunity to have pre-scheduled meetings during the Marketplace Sessions.*
Please provide us with the speaker’s name, the title of the presentation, the presentation deck in PowerPoint or Keynote as well as the video you would be showing no later than 3 May. If you have a keynote presentation, please also provide the speaker’s bio.
We recommend you submit the actual video file of any video (versus a web link) since internet is not always reliable. If you need a presentation template, feel free to use the ATTA presentation template.
PLEASE NOTE: The ATTA is not responsible for presentation issues if your presentation flow and files are not received at least three weeks before the event.
Your logo is live on the ATTA partners website and on the AdventureELEVATE page. If you don’t see your logo or if you would like to use a different logo, please send an EPS and PNG version of your logo to your ATTA point of contact, and we can replace it.
We do not hand out printed programs in order to eliminate as much printed waste as possible at our events, but your logo will be on any appropriate event banners, if we print them, and on screen.

According to your contract, you have the opportunity to provide giveaways and other goodies at your partner networking table. This is an excellent method to drive traffic to your partnership networking table and gain additional exposure.
After 18 years of events, ATTA has received a lot of feedback about the kinds of giveaways that are appreciated and valued and those that are not because of either their environmental impact, or simply because they have received so many through the years. Consider this as another opportunity to showcase your culture as well as your understanding of the adventure travel industry’s values around sustainability.

Please let your partner manager know if you will be raffling anything away no later than 5 May. If you would like to arrange a prize drawing at your partner networking table, such as “enter your business card for a chance to win”, winners will be announced during the closing plenary session.
For your partner networking space you will have a ∅ 70 cm (27 in), height 110 cm (43 in) round cocktail table with a black tablecloth set up near the main session rooms of the event venue. This is where all partner networking tables are placed so that delegates can pass through and learn about our partners, see your materials, etc. This is also where the networking breaks happen. Delegates get coffee/snacks and walk around the area during the breaks between sessions, and in mornings before sessions begin. You may bring one pop up banner as well as marketing materials, giveaways/goodies/etc to place on your table for the duration of the AdventureELEVATE Europe event. You may give away small samples of food and non-alcoholic beverages. No cooking or heating equipment is allowed. Please discuss any food and beverage ideas with your ATTA point of contact no later than 30 April. For table banners we recommend a standard pop up banner. Alternatively, to save space, you can use one with a QR code like the one pictured here! You may not use any fasteners to attach things to the walls that will cause damage. No tacks/glue/ or aggressive tape. Painters tape is acceptable. No glitter or equally small pieces allowed. Unless ordered by you ahead of time (see below “Electrical Power Outlets”), there is no guarantee of electrical power outlets by your table but there will be outlets in the area.
Here is how your partner networking table will look like:
Below you can see photos from a past event that gives you an idea of what to expect of the space.

Tear-Down: Thursday, 23 May before the closing session, from 4:30pm - 6:00pm / 16:30 - 18:00hrs or Friday, 24 May morning until 11am. Please note, all partner networking tables should be cleared.

AdventureELEVATE Europe's Marketplace will provide a focused setting for inbound tour operators, accommodations and destinations, ready for international travelers, to connect with potential partners during pre-scheduled meetings.
Marketplace participants get access to our event networking website and have an opportunity to select priority meetings with each other. There will be a total of seventeen 8-minute appointment times available (not guaranteed) for buyers, media and suppliers, including destinations with a destination marketplace showcase partnership seeking to connect one-on-one with specific attendees they’ve identified as targets for potential business partnerships.
Marketplace ratings for your pre-scheduled meetings will be open on the ATTA Compass platform on April 23 and will close on 7 May.
First, be sure to complete your profile so others know who you are and where you do business. Upload a photo so they will recognize you in person.
During the pre-scheduling phase, browse the attending delegate list, and rank the attendees you want to meet.
You can rate as follows:
After the selection period closes, ATTA’s matchmaking process takes over to best match each participant's requests and maximize schedules while balancing schedules to provide equal opportunity for all. Your schedule will be added to your account on the event app.
With over 16 years of experience running Marketplace events, we have fine tuned our formula to help forge hundreds of new and prosperous partnerships. Our team strives to fill as many open meeting slots as possible with the potential partners you have selected in our pre-event matchmaking process, however, your success depends heavily on you: it is imperative for you to "do your homework" and explore who is coming before we open the platform so that you are fully prepared and know with whom you wish to meet when the platform opens in April.
If your partnership includes a Marketplace destination table, delegates will come to meet with you at your table. Your Marketplace table will be a rectangular table 55” x 17” (140 x 45cm) . Setting up your Marketplace table is an opportunity to showcase your brand and we encourage the use of branded table cloths, table-top flags and the like. Unless ordered by you ahead of time (see below “Electrical Power Outlets”), there is no guarantee of electrical power outlets by your table. To reduce the number of materials that you bring to the event, we suggest you use your pop-up banner for both your partner networking table and Marketplace table. Please be sure to have your table set up no later than 15 minutes prior to the start of the session. You will be provided the exact location of your table and may set up your table one hour before the start of the event. ATTA staff will be there to greet you and show you to your table.

*NEW* Change and Cancellation Policies:
After an event partnership agreement has been signed, ATTA begins the promotion and inclusion of the event partner in the event marketing, and the partnership is no longer available to be sold to other destinations. In the event a partner must cancel their event partnership agreement, the partnership cost may be transferred to a future event as account credit, less the following fees:
An account balance due will be added to partners who cancel but who have not yet paid for their partnership fee.
Registration/Marketplace Table Change and Cancellation Policies for Event Partners:
If the in-person event must be moved to a virtual format due to Covid-19 related restrictions or force majeure, the ATTA will continue to host the long-awaited event utilizing its digital platform. Partners will continue to receive all benefits that can be done digitally - ie stage time, virtual networking tables (booths), marketing exposure pre/during/post event, etc. The ATTA will reduce the agreed upon partnership cost by 50% if the event will happen virtually instead of in-person. The remaining 50% of the paid/agreed upon partnership fee may be either refunded, saved as a future credit, or used for another product or service with the ATTA immediately. The partner may choose which option they prefer for the remaining 50%.
