Overland Expo West is one of the largest events of its kind anywhere in the world. It showcases anything and everything that involves vehicle dependent camping and traveling. There are hundreds of vendor booths to visit and purchase gear from, education classes you can sign up for, food, music, good times, and great people!
What really sets this event apart from a typical trade show is the on-site camping. Vendors are camping in their booths throughout the venue, often times showcasing the usefulness of their product by using it for the weekend during the Expo. There is also a large connected campground that allows for visitors to stay on site, mingle with the vendors after hours and enjoy a campfire type of atmosphere sharing stories of places travelled and challenges bested.
