Known for rocky coasts, deep north woods, and rugged mountains, Maine’s landscapes are as bold and spirited as the people who live there.

What is AdventureELEVATE?
With a spotlight on education and networking, AdventureELEVATE is an annual three-day regional conference for media, outbound tour operators, and thought leaders in the adventure travel community.
Keynote speakers, workshops, and creative panel sessions feature relevant industry topics such as business and technology, marketing and operations, and travel trends shaping the future of adventure tourism.
In addition to dedicated networking events, delegates have the opportunity to experience the host destination firsthand through a day of adventure, featuring activities offered specifically to highlight the location and season.
"Not only have I had beneficial follow-up communications with several of the people I met, but I also continue to reflect on all that I learned. I especially appreciated listening to the array of diverse voices and perspectives, the open and honest sharing particularly when grappling with challenging questions and scenarios, and the overall supportive and encouraging environment."
– Ann Becker, Travel with Ann Experiential
“The ATTA is unlike any other. Our experience is a community where we can make connections, ask questions and get answers. It’s a community where people are able to grow their own personal learning and be good stewards of responsible adventure tourism.”
– Matt Aubin, Global Rescue
“In the same way that adventure means something different to everyone, AdventureElevate is no cookie-cutter style event – it’s implemented in a way that keeps you coming back for more. I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the ATTA community!”
– Tiffany Harrison, AAA Exclusive Vacations
