The OHI Foundation announced that scholarship applications for the 2026 Outdoor Hospitality Conference & Expo (OHCE) are now open.
This year, applications are launching earlier than ever before to give outdoor hospitality professionals more time to plan travel and budget accordingly to attend the industry’s premier event.
The OHCE Scholarship program is designed to make the event more accessible for owners, operators, staff and newcomers who may otherwise face barriers to attending.
Each scholarship covers the cost of a full conference registration for OHCE2026. Travel expenses remain the responsibility of the scholarship recipient. Preference is given to first-time attendees.
The deadline to apply is April 20, and scholarship recipients will be notified during the week of June 9.
“The more the merrier when it comes to OHCE,” said the OHI Foundation. “These scholarships help ensure that more voices from across the outdoor hospitality industry can participate in the learning, networking, and collaboration that make this event so valuable.”
The Outdoor Hospitality Conference & Expo (OHCE) will take place Nov. 9–11 in Fort Worth, Texas. Recognized as a Top 50 trade show by Trade Show Magazine, OHCE is the outdoor hospitality industry’s premier gathering for professional development, business growth and connection.
Attendees can learn from industry-leading experts, build relationships with peers, discover new products and services on the expo floor, and gain practical insights to strengthen their businesses.
