Outdoor Hospitality Conference & Expo
The Outdoor Hospitality Conference & Expo, known as OHCE, is an annual three-day conference and trade show for campground, RV park, and glamping operators. Its own pitch spans the range of that audience: first-time park builders, families who have inherited a park, and groups scaling multiple properties.
The programme pairs education sessions on marketing, guest experience, management, and park operations with an expo floor of suppliers. The 2026 schedule opens the day before the conference with a Prospective Owner Workshop, which carries an additional fee, and an Outdoor Hospitality Innovator Summit, then runs an opening keynote, an Awards of Excellence luncheon, a trends and insights panel, Hosted Buyer Meetings, and two evening receptions on the expo floor with food included.
The 2026 edition runs November 9 to 11 at the Fort Worth Convention Center, 1201 Houston Street, Fort Worth, Texas, with the welcome reception billed as "Diamonds & Denim: 60 Years Strong" and a country-western closing reception. Registration is handled through the event's Cvent site, where sponsors including Conestoga Wagon Company, Blue Water Development Corp, and Dock Boxes Unlimited are listed.
Registration rates, exhibitor booth pricing, and the workshop's additional fee are not shown on the summary page, and the schedule is marked subject to change, so confirm both before booking travel.
Best for
Campground, RV park, and glamping owners and operators who want three days of operations education plus supplier meetings in one place, including people still shopping for a first park. It sells attendance and exhibit space, not services to your property.
