Vendor Training +Plus Workshop Information

Elevate Your Brand with an Exclusive Vendor Training +Plus Workshop!

Limited spots available! Deadline is  April 19th to secure your place.

We're offering a unique opportunity for 25 exhibitors or sponsors to conduct one-hour, proprietary workshops for attendees. This intimate setting allows you to:

  • Showcase your expertise: Choose a topic relevant to your brand and engage with attendees face-to-face, outside the exhibit hall.
  • Connect directly with potential customers: Foster deeper relationships and generate valuable leads.

New this year: We're adding a fixed operations focus on Wednesday and Thursday. Dealers will be encouraged to send their fixed operations personnel to attend specialized programming on Thursday.

Don't miss this chance to elevate your brand! Apply today!

How to Participate:
  1. Fill in the details on the Exhibitor application and include payment (Cost: $1,599).
  2. Complete the workshop spreadsheet   (which will be emailed to you after we receive your application and payment) to submit all workshop details (Deadline for final details is Wednesday, April 17th).
    • Workshop Title: Briefly summarize the key topic or learning objective.
    • Learning Objectives: What key takeaways will attendees gain from your session (used in the print version of your workshop in the
      pre-convention issues of RV Executive Today and the Onsite program)? Briefly list 3-4 bullet points.
    • Longer Summary: Will be available on the convention platform where attendees can view more information.
    • Speaker Information: Speaker name, bio, and picture will be added to the speaker index.

Vendor Training +Plus workshops will run alongside the main education programming Tuesday - Thursday. We will finalize the schedule in May/June as we add the tracked education to the main program.

Limited to one workshop per company initially. Additional slots may be available closer to the event.

  • Publish the workshop details in the pre-convention issues of RV Executive Today (Aug - Nov) and in the Onsite Program. We will also align your workshop under the same tracks as tracked education, including:
    • Business Innovation (F&I & Sales)
    • Dealer/GM
    • Fixed Ops
    • Digital Marketing/BDC
  • Publish details on the convention app, including longer descriptions and speaker details.

  • Provide signage with your company name and the workshop title outside the meeting space.
  • Provide a pre-registered attendee list so you can send a personal message inviting them to your session.
