Attendees can also dive into a range of breakout sessions, such as learning how to enhance your marketing efforts using easy graphic design tools, creative strategies for boosting both site and ancillary revenue, creating inclusive experiences at your park, economic and business trends in the Outdoor Hospitality Industry, and more. There are also hands-on workshops like how to effectively lead teambuilding activities or improving your online marketing with Google Analytics. There’s also expert-led panels like the Outdoor Hospitality Innovators Summit, hosted by Newbook & OHI, which will gather some of the brightest minds in the industry to share strategies for business growth.
Additionally, the OHCE Expo Hall will offer a chance to explore the latest products, services and technologies driving the Outdoor Hospitality Industry forward. Fireside Chats and the Activity Center will provide casual, interactive environments for idea sharing and connecting with exhibitors and fellow attendees.
Networking is a cornerstone of OHCE. The “Camp OHI” Networking Night is an opportunity to connect with peers in a retro campground-themed atmosphere, complete with music, games and a swag exchange. Sticking with the vintage theme, the closing networking reception, an epic 70s Disco Party at Jones Assembly nearby will have you stepping back in time for a night of fun, food and dancing.
Daily Coffee Conversations will be held in the morning, with Campfire Sessions (formerly known as “Cracker Barrels”) throughout the day. OHI will also be celebrating industry achievements at the Awards of Excellence Luncheon.
