"One of my favorite aspects of ETC is that it is a complex, multi-layered experience. At its most basic level, it is a conference, and at this task it excels: replete with provocative guest speakers, the bustling bazaar, and exciting events/dinners. On another, deeper level, it is an annual gathering of friends and family, a magical international shin dig of epic proportions. And on the deepest level, it is a sound, productive, benevolent, year-round community, active in the most essential, meaningful ways, whether it be empathetic calls among competitors during crisis, who feel less competitive after so many years of meeting at ETC, or meticulously planned initiatives, small groups of us working together for sustainable development, leveraging tourism and our (largely ETC related) relationships for poverty alleviation, community development, and conservation."

Alicia Stevens, Former Director, American Museum of Natural History Expeditions

ETC 2008 was the best ETC ever! Across the board the speakers and sessions were excellent, the keynote addresses were outstanding, the ETC team and hotel team worked seamlessly together - and the hotel service was over the top this year. The International Bazaar was bustling as we had a 10% increase in attendance - including the highest number of travel planners ever recorded!
