We don't attend any other shows other than the Summit because it's the perfect combination of networking, making serious business, and vacation at the same time. This is what the Summit is all about. ATTA get ready to see me every year.

Having been to all but one ATWS, it's been fascinating watching this "tribe" of ours grow and intermingle, become one and stand together proudly as examples of the best of the best in this niche industry of ours. Speaking to several new attendees, I heard over and over again, "These are my people! I never knew there were other people with a passion just like me." Well done, ATTA.

Vice President, Myths & Mountains
The 2011 ATWS was a smashing success on many levels. I connected with many old friends, and made a number of new acquaintances and contacts that will no doubt be helpful in the future. The spirit of sharing and learning is alive and well among ATTA members. This Summit will be hard to top but I'm confident that the ATTA staff will rise to the occasion! Thank you for setting the stage for inspiration, friendship and growth.

I've never returned from a Summit yet that had such an inspired, connected and engaged group. We're all missing each other, missing the special moments that we shared together and the inspiration that followed. What you've created is so very special and we feel like one big family. Thanks for putting spring back into my step.

Founder and Director, BikeHike Adventures
Year after year we grow with the help of the ATTA Summit. Even this year we met some very potential contacts and hopefully in the coming months it will turn into business. Thanks ATTA for holding an event which is neither only marketplace, nor just sessions — it is the perfect mix of the two which inspires us to create new business, through the lessons learned during the event and the contacts we make.

This has been a life-changing experience, and I didn't even know I needed one.

I entered the Summit as the usual British cynic and left completely inspired! Having been a member of ATTA for 3 years I finally found the time to attend the Summit and was greatly rewarded; everyone was so open to chatting through the adventure travel trade whether they were competitors or not. Humbled by the various lectures I attended as some truly inspirational speakers talked us through their various business models. Having now returned to the UK I have spent most days on the phone to the various contacts I have made in the States as to how to implement various projects and partnerships! I am a cynic converted!
