Information to be updated
If you produce, publish, or sell a media product, we encourage you to attend AdventureNEXT India as a regular delegate and immerse yourself in the adventure travel community while helping promote your company’s adventure product to the industry’s influencers and decision-makers. A limited number of official media delegate badges were designated for international freelance journalists, on-staff writers and editors, professional bloggers/influencers and broadcast journalists and recipients were selected through an application process in advance of the event. If you applied for an official media delegate spot but were not accepted, or if the media application window is now closed, you are also welcome to register as a regular event delegate (without media credentials). Local and regional media (radio, newspaper, television) seeking to attend may be eligible for a media day pass granting access to a press conference. To make your request, email [email protected] and include your press credentials with your inquiry.
MARKETPLACE is a small, intimate environment that works to connect both suppliers and buyers. Similar to “speed dating” but with an emphasis on quality over quantity, your MARKETPLACE experience will be made up of up approximately 20 separate 12-minute meeting slots, and will provide a great atmosphere for introductions, learning about new opportunities and engaging in product development discussions.
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.
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
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.
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.
*the registration fee does not include a Marketplace table, this must be added in step one 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.
