Yes! By popular demand, we have added a Marketplace session to AdventureELEVATE. Tour operators and media will have the opportunity to connect with suppliers from all around the world in a series of pre-scheduled, one-on-one meetings.

The ATTA Compass app will also allow you to schedule meetings in advance with other delegates during available networking time.

Connections with the media are a key benefit to attending AdventureELEVATE. Delegates have the opportunity to meet our official media delegates throughout the event and specifically at Marketplace (timed, pre-scheduled meetings). A diverse group of nearly a dozen international media representatives will be in attendance, seeking inspiration and story ideas from you. Your success in connecting with the journalists, editors, influencers and bloggers depends on your preparation and research about who they are and what they are looking for, so be sure to do your homework!

A like-minded group of adventure travel industry professionals will attend and be eager to learn and meet new colleagues. At ATTA events you can expect a warm and eager welcome and enthusiastic individuals looking to discuss business challenges and opportunities.

Marketplace is a small, intimate environment that connects suppliers and buyers. Similar to “speed dating” but with an emphasis on quality over quantity. Marketplace provides a great atmosphere for introductions, learning about new opportunities, and engaging in product development discussions. Each meeting is 12 minutes long with a 2 minute transition between meetings, giving you the opportunity to have up to 12 meetings.

ATTA Compass is the first step to having a great Marketplace experience. Reaching out to buyers you wish to meet with prior to the appointment request process is the second step — the more you reach out in advance, the more meetings you will have on-site. Utilize the “Message” feature on the app to reach out to buyers and ask them to request you, as requests will be approved based on buyer-supplier matches.

In the weeks before ATWS, all Marketplace participants will be invited to request meetings by indicating who they would like to “Meet”, “Must Meet” or “No Thanks”. Our software then analyzes everyone’s preferences and schedules meetings so that everyone receives the maximum number of “Meet” and “Must Meet” matches that are mathematically possible. The algorithm ensures maximum fairness, but cannot guarantee any particular meetings.

The good news is that once you have your finalized Marketplace schedule, you are then free to request meetings through the app with any delegates that you wish outside of the Marketplace session.

The AdventureELEVATE is developed for networking throughout the entire event — Marketplace is just one of many ways to connect. Dedicated networking/coffee breaks and the Day of Adventure are great ways to connect with other delegates. Registered delegates may use the ATTA Compass app for pre-event networking, knowledge-sharing, and appointment scheduling at the event. There will be a dedicated MEET ME HERE location to help delegates find each other. Connecting with fellow delegates will also take place during lunches, at the partner networking tables, and during the concurrent sessions as well.

Table - Your table will be a rectangular table (table sizes will be confirmed soon), equipped with four chairs per table. Any table toppers or flags need to be short and narrow enough as to not block anyone's view during the meetings.

Recommended marketing materials - Whatever you are able to bring and pass out to your meeting attendees works great. ATTA is trying to reduce the amount of paper products we have at our events to be more sustainable, so here are some suggestions and other ideas that have been used before: pens, notepads, lip balms, stickers, artisan made crafts and souvenirs, fabric napkins/handkerchief, candy, mints, hand sanitizer, maps, bright rug (table cloth, table runner) etc.

Suppliers will be able to participate in one of the two Marketplace sessions. There is a morning session and an afternoon session. Your meeting location will specify which session you will participate in.

Example: “Table 1 - Morning” -OR- “Table 1 - Afternoon” 

Buyers / Outbound Tour Operators will participate in both Morning and Afternoon Marketplace sessions.
