RVDA will host the annual RVDA Convention/Expo Nov. 10-14. The event will take place at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
RVDA, RVDA of Canada and the Mike Molino RV Learning Center will present the convention. Dealers, manufacturers, suppliers and RV industry business partners will come together for the dealer education and networking event.
RVDA President Phil Ingrassia said, “It is a great place to get continuing education for dealership employees, but also to make new acquaintances in the vendor community and form some profitable partnerships.”
Educational classes will cover topics such as RV dealership operations; sales and marketing; consumer service; fixed operations; finance; service and parts management; and more.
Networking will be a big component of the event, providing opportunities to connect with other dealers, industry professionals and potential business partners.
“Last year’s attendance was up about 3% over 2023,” Ingrassia said. “We were pleased to see the attendance boost in a challenging year, and we are going to try to build on that.”
The expo hall will be open for vendors to showcase their latest RV products, technologies and services. Vendors can lead Vendor Training +Plus training sessions, where attendees can learn about the products and services.
The convention will also feature dealer-manufacturer Partners of Progress meetings and industry insights presentations.
The Convention/Expo committee will meet soon to review workshop topics and discuss ways to improve the event. Speaker submissions will open in mid-March and close by May 12. Exhibitor applications will open in late March. Dealers will be notified when registration opens in April.
Companies interested in partnership, sponsorship, exhibiting and Vendor Training +Plus opportunities can contact RVDA Marketing Manager Julie Newhouse at (703) 364-5518 or jnewhouse@rvda.org.
