The 2020 Outdoor Hospitality Conference and Expo (OHCE) also hosted a silent auction on its virtual platform. More than 40 donated items received bids to help fund scholarships and disaster relief grants for those in need throughout the outdoor hospitality industry.
“We are always so thankful for all of the great donation we receive for the ARVC Foundation auctions and for those that spend their hard-earned money to support our efforts,” stated Paula Horwitz, ARVC executive director of education and events and ARVC Foundation executive director.
“The 2020 virtual conference and expo was an amazing event,” ARVC member George O. Flint stated. “OHCE2020 was jam-packed with great information, contacts and the vendors were very helpful and diverse.”
Participants in the association’s Hosted Buyer Program attended more than 775 one-on-one meetings throughout the week and received early expo floor access.
