RVDA’s deadline for submitting workshop proposals to its annual convention/expo is next week.
The deadline to submit workshop proposals is March 15. RVDA’s Convention/Expo Committee is seeking workshop proposals for the 2023 RV Dealers Convention/Expo, Nov. 6-10 at Paris Las Vegas.

RVDA said the committee welcomes submissions from “in-the-trenches” training professionals, consultants, dealership professionals, vendors, and others who support the RV industry.
