Marketplace: Step by Step

NOW: Register for the event and purchase a MARKETPLACE table. Please note that late registrations will have less access to scheduling appointments, so we encourage you to secure your table as soon as possible.

Early October 2018: You will receive access to our networking app to create your supplier profile and assemble your meeting requests along with our step-by-step guide to navigating marketplace

End of October 2018: We will create a pre-matched schedule of appointments for you with Buyers & Media. You are welcome to add/change additional appointments once your schedule is received.

November 2018: You will participate in 4 sessions of marketplace. Buyers and media will navigate the room and move to the appropriate supplier tables. Our ATTA Staff will guide you through the sessions and be on hand to help answer any questions you may have.

To purchase your table:

• Register for AdventureNEXT and in the third step of registration add a MARKETPLACE table (price: $850 USD) -OR-
• Request an Invoice (if you’ve already registered for the event or are unable to make a credit card payment)

*the registration fee does not include a marketplace table, this must be added in step three of the online registration process or by requesting an invoice.

The event app is step one to having a great Marketplace experience. Reaching out to buyers you wish to meet with prior to the Appointment Request process is step two – 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.

We do our best to provide as many requested appointments as possible but due to the popularity of certain delegates, full schedules and exact requests are not guaranteed. You are able to add or rearrange meetings after your schedule has been delivered through the event app. *PLEASE do not contact ATTA to make changes or request appointments once your schedule has been delivered, it is your responsibility to make changes once your schedule has been delivered.

Absolutely! Again, the event app will be your best tool in making any change to your MARKETPLACE schedule. Your meetings will be uploaded to your networking profile in the “Meetings” section. You can add/cancel/change any meetings from this tab.
