Summit Connections is your networking tool for the 2010 Adventure Travel World Summit in Aviemore, Scotland.

After you create your Summit Profile, here are some ways to use Summit Connections:

• Update your Settings anytime to add a short company description or more information about yourself.
• Add pictures, videos, your blog feed and more to your page so that other delegates know what you're about.
• Browse delegates on the box to the left to pinpoint those delegates you must meet at the Summit.
• Use the advanced search to find exactly the type of company with whom you want to meet — by region, interest, type of business and more.
• Maximize your time at the Summit by scheduling meetings with the delegates you've found with the tools above. Reference the agenda to pick an adequate time (don't double book on Oct. 5th if you are participating in the AFAR Exchange), then send a message to them with a time that you want to meet.
