The Outdoor Hospitality Conference & Expo (OHCE) is bringing back one of its most sought-after experiences: the Hosted Buyer Program, the organization said in a press release.

This program connects RV park and campground decision-makers with the industry’s top suppliers through curated one-on-one meetings, while providing buyer attendees with waived registration.

For the Hosted Buyer attendees, the OHI members who are purchasing decision-makers, the program offers unmatched value: free OHCE registration ($599 value), VIP Expo Hall access and dedicated networking opportunities. In exchange, Hosted Buyers commit to at least six pre-scheduled meetings with exhibitors that align with their business needs. It’s a streamlined way to discover the products and services that matter most to their business.

While all attendees have access to the expo floor at OHCE, Hosted Buyers have exclusive and dedicated one-on-one time with exhibitors to ask their questions and demo products on a more intimate level.

The Hosted Buyer Program provides unmatched value on both sides of the table, the organization said..  

Hosted Buyer Exhibitors get face time with the RV park and campground owners who are their potential customers. They enjoy prime booth placement, a complimentary full registration – Hosted Buyer pass, and a top-tier schedule of meetings with qualified decision-makers. There is no limit to the amount of meetings Hosted Buyer Exhibitors can have, making the program an easy way to maximize ROI and build lasting relationships, the organization said.

Appointments are scheduled for Nov. 11, during dedicated early hours, so both buyers and exhibitors can fully participate in OHCE’s packed agenda of breakout sessions, networking and celebrations. 

“OHCE has always been about creating opportunities, and the Hosted Buyer Program is one of the best ways we bring people together,” said David Basler, chief strategy officer at OHI. “It’s a win-win. Campground owners and operators discover solutions tailored to their needs, and exhibitors get face time with decision-makers ready to take action.” 

Spots in the Hosted Buyer Program are limited. Buyers and exhibitors must be active OHI members to participate. Each RV park or campground organization is eligible for one Hosted Buyer attendee registration and may bring one additional paid attendee to participate in their scheduled meetings. Exhibitors should secure booths early to guarantee placement in this program. 

Possibilities start in Louisville, Kentucky, with the Hosted Buyer program.
