Creator and host of the adventure travel community’s annual Adventure Travel World Summit, the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) today released the names of its Advisory Committee for its Oct. 19-21 conference in Seattle. The Advisory Committee is comprised of the following industry leaders who have committed to help the ATTA develop and execute the fall Summit. 

Summit Connections, the Networking Schedule Planner of the 2006 Adventure Travel World Summit, today launched to facilitate networking solutions for registered delegates, speakers, advisors, sponsors and exhibitors of the fall, trade-only conference. Summit Connections is provided exclusively as a complimentary service to all adventure travel professionals registered to attend the October 19-21 Adventure Travel World Summit in Seattle.

Designed specifically for Summit delegates, the secure online networking solution allows attendees to make connections with important industry counterparts before, during and after the event by accessing a private online community. The networking tool allows people to get acquainted ahead of the trade-only gathering and to set times to meet in person at the Summit. Summit Connections remains active for several months after the Summit, allowing delegates to stay connected with their new acquaintances.
