This is not a trade show
instead, ETC’s International Bazaar offers relationship building with educational and affinity based institutions from around the globe
Thank you to the organizations who contribute so much to our community
and conference each year!
The International Bazaar is also the exhibition space for tour operators, destinations, and travel suppliers as well as the festive promotional exhibits of the official Conference Partners on Partners' Boulevard. Here you'll find corner lounges, refreshment breaks, CONNECTS meetings, complimentary coffee, and deli cart lunches.
- Meet the "who's who" of special interest educational travel across the globe.
- Keep current on new product offerings competing for your travelers’ attention.
- Secure destination information relevant to planning present and future programs.
Exhibit space, including a table, chairs and table-top sign, is included in the registration fee for Destinations, Operators, and Suppliers.
ETC offers members the opportunity to sponsor events or items at the Annual Conference. Sponsorship is a powerful way to increase brand visibility so your company stands out. Only a sampling of sponsorships available are highlighted below.
If you are interested in becoming a Conference, please contact ETC Partner Liaison.
Benefits include upgraded location and larger display space in the International Bazaar—the most heavily trafficked area just for sponsors – in addition to specialized benefits attached to specific sponsored venues. Square footage of display space varies with investment level (1 to 7 star levels) and venue choice. Many of the featured sponsor venues are available for co-sponsorship by one or more entities. ETC confirms requests for sponsorship on a first-paid basis. Many sponsor venues are renewed annually by longstanding partners. In addition to the published listing of sponsor venues, ETC also customizes online visibility to align with a sponsor’s objectives.

CONNECTS are business-to-business (B-2-B) meetings and an integral part of the annual conference! However, CONNECTS does not operate within a commercial trade show format.
CONNECTS is a networking and meeting platform designed to address product development challenges, identify new product offerings, stimulate conversation about global destinations, and share perspectives and ideas specific to educational travel.
Delegates can request pre-scheduled B-2-B meetings through the online portal, but are not required to do so. Requesting meetings with individuals doesn’t mean guaranteed confirmations, instant sales, or a future relationship.
For efficient networking and meetings, CONNECTS is held in the International Bazaar where delegates can maximize their opportunities to engage with existing partners, source new contacts, and meet delegates beyond one’s familiar networks.
The CONNECTS scheduler opens approximately one month before the conference.
