ATN Media Meetup
The ATN Media Meetup event offers your business the opportunity to unlock its growth potential through the power of media. Bringing the adventure travel community together, the event provides an evening of informal networking over drinks and canapés.
​
We invite leading travel media focused on “adventure and experiential travel with a positive impact” - journalists and editors who are actively seeking fresh story angles and genuinely want to hear about your company or destination. This is an ideal platform to share new products, developments, stories and news with some of the industry’s most respected writers.
​
At a time when traveller confidence, expectations and global conditions are constantly shifting, tour operators must take every opportunity to strengthen direct relationships with both travel media and tourist boards.
​
The event connects tourist boards, tour operators and key media for meaningful, face-to-face conversations, where trust is built, ideas flow freely and long-term partnerships begin.
​
This is a rare opportunity to engage informally with trusted media, put your brand front and centre, and showcase your latest stories, innovations and product offerings to the people who matter most.
​
ATN welcomes all destinations, including Destination Management Organisations (DMOs), regional offices and islands of every size. Get in touch to find out how you can be part of it.
ATN Media Meetup Format
As an exclusive, carefully curated event, we operate a 20:20 format - bringing together a select group of approximately 20 adventure operators and 20+ highly sought-after commissioning editors, trade reporters and freelance journalists across print, digital and online media. All share a strong focus on purposeful adventure and experiential travel, and are actively looking for their next story.
​
We kick off the evening with a topical panel discussion, setting the tone and sparking ideas from the outset. From there, the room opens up for dynamic, free-flowing conversations. Our tourist board partners are positioned throughout the space, making it easy to connect and exchange ideas with ease.
​
With no pre-scheduled meetings, this is networking at its most natural - but with a strategic edge. Ahead of the event, all attendees receive company profiles and journalist bios via the Vamoos app, so you can arrive informed, prepared and ready to make every conversation count.
​
This is a deliberately targeted, high-impact event, designed to maximise quality over quantity and create genuine opportunities for coverage, collaboration and long-term partnerships.
​
True to ATN spirit, drinks and canapés are served throughout the evening, ensuring a relaxed, sociable atmosphere where conversations flow as easily as the wine!
