The National Association of RV Parks & Campgrounds (ARVC) announces registration for its virtual 2020 Outdoor Hospitality Conference and Expo (OHCE) will open this Tuesday, July 21. As part of the shift this year to virtual, registration rates are significantly reduced compared to the in-person event, including an option to attend for free allowing even more individuals in the industry to experience the event.
“Our goal as always is to create the best learning and networking experiences for all attendees,” said Paul Bambei, president and CEO of ARVC. “With a virtual conference we are able to do that at a lower cost and pass that savings on to attendees. Plus, without travel and hotel costs, the lower cost of entry will hopefully make the event accessible to even more attendees.”
When registration opens tomorrow, ARVC will be offering an introductory rate for a limited time of $199 for a full conference registration (single login) for ARVC members. Additional logins are available for $49 at the time of purchase. Following the introductory rate, prices are $299 for individual logins for members, with additional logins costing $59. A portion of all full registrations to the conference will be donated to the ARVC Foundation.
OHCE2020 will certainly have a different feel due to its virtual nature, but the ARVC staff has worked with partners and leaders in the event industry to find creative strategies to replicate the soul of the in-person event.
“We are confident this year’s event will retain the soul of every in-person OHCE and at the same time offer some great new opportunities as well,” said Paula Horwitz, ARVC’s executive director of education and events. “A virtual event requires some obvious changes but things that weren’t possible before are now very much possible.”
The virtual OHCE2020 will take place Nov. 2-5, – the same dates the in-person event was scheduled. A full breakdown of the pricing and registration for the conference are available at arvc.org/OHCE beginning July 21 at 10 a.m. ET.
