LAS VEGAS, Nev. – RV dealers are expected to begin gathering today at the Paris Las Vegas as registration begins for the RV Dealers Association’s annual Convention/Expo.

The schedule is fairly light, with both the U.S. and Canadian boards of delegates holding their annual meetings before an evening dedicated to vendor networking events.

The event gets going full stride on Tuesday with educational workshops beginning, the keynote speaker addressing the group and the Expo hall opening as well as a number of Partners of Progress meetings.

New to the Convention/Expo this year is a designated Fixed Operations Day on Wednesday with a number of educational sessions set specifically for fixed ops professionals.

The program closes out Friday morning.

The 2024 RV Dealers Convention/Expo is sponsored by RVDA of U.S., RVDA of Canada, and the Mike Molino RV Learning Center. The convention allows North America’s top dealership personnel to forge valuable connections with peers, industry leaders, and potential business partners in the Expo. Dealership professionals can expand their network and gain insights from the best in the RV industry. The dealer-organized RVDA Convention will provide an in-depth look into the current sales landscape. Attendees will have access to valuable resources to optimize all departments within a dealership, including fixed operations.
