Registration Opens for RV/MH Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony

The RV/MH Heritage Foundation announced that registration is now open for the 2026 RV/MH Hall of Fame Induction Celebration, taking place Aug. 16–17 at the RV/MH Hall of Fame & Museum in Elkhart, Indiana.

Each year, the Hall of Fame Induction Celebration brings together the leaders, innovators, pioneers, manufacturers, suppliers, dealers, community owners and professionals who have shaped the RV and Manufactured Housing (MH) industries. More than an awards ceremony, the Hall of Fame is a celebration of the people whose vision, dedication and leadership built two industries that continue to impact millions of lives.

A Historic First for the Hall of Fame

The 2026 celebration marks a significant milestone for the foundation.

For the first time in the history of the RV/MH Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, the event will be hosted in the East Wing Convention Center.

The new venue will provide an elevated guest experience featuring elegant banquet seating, an enhanced stage production, premium sponsor recognition, expanded networking opportunities, dual cocktail reception bars and seating for nearly 500 guests.

Designed to reflect the prestige of the Hall of Fame itself, the new venue creates an unforgettable setting worthy of honoring the industry’s highest achievers.

Event Schedule

Sunday, Aug. 16

Green Jacket Ceremony

The Hall of Fame celebration begins with the exclusive Green Jacket Ceremony, where the 2026 Hall of Fame Inductees receive the iconic Green Jacket, a symbol of lifetime achievement and one of the highest honors in the RV and Manufactured Housing industries.

2026 RV/MH Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony & Dinner

The celebration continues with the formal induction of the 2026 Hall of Fame Class, recognizing individuals whose innovation, leadership and lifelong commitment have transformed the industries.

Guests will enjoy an evening of recognition, storytelling, fellowship and celebration while honoring the newest members of one of the industry’s most distinguished organizations.

Tickets remain available but are selling quickly. Early reservations are encouraged as seating is limited.

Only Two Diamond Sponsorships Remain

Organizations wishing to align their brand with one of the industry’s premier annual celebrations still have an opportunity — but not for long. Only two Diamond Sponsorships remain available — one located on each side of the ceremony’s grand center aisle.

Diamond Sponsors receive premium seating, prominent event recognition, printed and digital marketing exposure, onsite signage and visibility alongside many of the industry’s most recognized leaders and companies.

Once these final sponsorships are secured, Diamond Sponsorships for the 2026 Induction Ceremony will be completely sold out.

Additional sponsorship opportunities remain available at select levels. Companies interested in sponsorship opportunities are encouraged to contact the foundation immediately.

A Message from the President

“The Hall of Fame exists to honor the extraordinary men and women whose vision built our industries while inspiring those who will lead them into the future,” said Daryll A. Milnikel, president of the RV/MH Heritage Foundation.

“Hosting the Induction Ceremony in the East Wing Convention Center for the first time allows us to create an experience that truly reflects the prestige of this occasion. We are excited to welcome our inductees, sponsors, and guests for what promises to be one of the finest Hall of Fame celebrations in our history.”

Whether you’re joining us to celebrate a colleague, honor industry history, entertain customers or support the foundation’s mission, now is the time to reserve your place. With tickets selling quickly and only two Diamond Sponsorships remaining, early registration is strongly encouraged.
