The Outdoor Hospitality Industry (OHI) has officially opened registration for the 2025 Outdoor Hospitality Conference & Expo (OHCE), an industry event for professional development, business growth and networking. This year’s conference will take place Nov. 10-12 at the Kentucky International Convention Center (KICC) in downtown Louisville.
Registration options for OHCE2025 include full conference access for both OHI members and nonmembers, with a special Hosted Buyer Program available at no cost to qualified decision-makers from OHI member parks. Expo Hall access passes are also available for those primarily interested in visiting the exhibit floor.
OHI members can register for the full conference for just $499 through June 30. Rates increase to $599 on July 1 and to $799 after Oct. 1. Nonmember registration is $1,399. Expo-Only Access Passes begin at $129 and increase later in the year. With over 50 breakouts, general and networking sessions planned on a variety of topics from diversifying revenue to handling wastewater, there’s something for every journey.
“The learning, the connections, the energy, it all starts at OHCE,” said David Basler, OHI’s chief strategy officer. “This event is about investing in the future of your business. Whether you’re just starting out or scaling up, OHCE provides access to the people and ideas that move our industry forward.”
The OHI Foundation is offering a limited number of OHCE scholarships, which cover the cost of full registration. Preference is given to first-time attendees. Travel and accommodation expenses are not included. Applications must be submitted by July 14, and recipients will be announced the week of Aug. 18. Details and the application form can be found at judgify.me/ohcescholarship.
The Omni Louisville is the official OHCE2025 hotel and is located just a short walk from the convention center. Attendees flying in should plan to arrive at Louisville International Airport (SDF) on Sunday, Nov. 9 and depart Thursday, Nov. 13 to take full advantage of the conference schedule. A hotel booking link will be provided in the registration confirmation.
