Solid Attendance Marks Opening Day of NTP-Stag Expo – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
The 2025 NTP-Stag Expo, presented by Airxcel, officially got underway with a Welcome Reception Sunday night (Jan. 19) at the Gaylord Rockies Convention Center in Aurora, Colo. The event, which concludes Tuesday (Jan. 21) brings together the RV dealers from across North America for a two-day Expo featuring a 115,000-square-foot exhibition hall and a full slate of presentations by suppliers and educational speakers.
Expo kicks off today with PRO speaker Peter McGraw, marketing and psychology professor at Leeds School of Business at University of Colorado Boulder, where he translates the genius and madness of the world’s funniest people into powerful prescriptions for professional success in his speech “Shtick to Business: From Punchline to Bottom Line.” Drawing on cutting-edge research, case studies, and his own comedy successes (and failures), McGraw reveals surprising business lessons from the masters of comedy. Attendees can then attend one of more than 30 concurrent supplier led sessions during RV and Marine Dealer University. Here they will learn directly from the suppliers and manufacturers about the features and benefits, new product innovations and how best to include their product lines into current store inventory.
Show floor then opens at 5 p.m., with hundreds of brands and over one hundred thousand square feet of the top RV, towing and marine suppliers showing new and exciting products, offering valuable deals and providing selling tools and promotions to help drive sales in dealerships and service outlets across the country.
Tuesday morning begins with keynote speaker and NFL veteran, Justin Forsett, sponsored by Carefree of Colorado. Forsett will offer invaluable insights into leadership, resilience, and seizing opportunities with his topic “The Huddle & and the Hustle: Leading Teams through Change, Adversity & Opportunity.” Former NFL Pro Bowl athlete turned entrepreneur, Forsett shares his dual journey of excelling in the high-stakes world of professional football and pioneering his wellness brand, Hustle Clean and how embracing setbacks is an essential step towards greater achievement.
“We are excited for the 2025 Expo line up that we hope will reinvigorate our dealers and suppliers,” said NTP-STAG Distribution President Bill Rogers. “We are thrilled to be back at Gaylord Rockies – a truly spectacular venue. After a couple of challenging years, we are looking forward to the Expo ushering in a more normal 2025.”
