The RV Leadership Conference took place Jan. 14-15 in Tampa, Fla., where attendees engaged in an assortment of educational workshops and committee meetings.

RV industry leaders met in Tampa to kick off the 2018 Annual RV Leadership Conference at the Marriott Waterside Hotel. Executives and future leaders of the RV industry recognized champions of the industry and charted the course for 2018.

Attendees gathered insights from economist Peter Morici, an emeritus professor of business at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, the University of Maryland and a national columnist. His views appear regularly in MarketWatch, the Washington Times, other major metropolitan dailies throughout the U.S. and Canada, and on the website of Fox and others.

Josh Linkner, sponsored by Dometic, an internationally-recognized thought leader and New York Times bestselling author discussed innovation, creativity, reinvention and hyper-growth leadership. As the founder and CEO of five tech companies, Linkner built his businesses from a blank page into a combined value of over $200 million.

During the conference, the RV Industry Association’s board of directors unanimously approved an entirely new approach to RVIA’s annual event, the National RV Trade Show that has traditionally been held in Louisville, Ky., in late November/early December.

The new national industry gathering will include a shift in venue and timing and will reveal the newest products the industry has to offer. An event positioned earlier in the calendar year will kick off the RV selling season, creating a promotional platform to drive consumers to RV dealers nationwide.

To support the creation of this new event, the board of directors unanimously directed RVIA to cease producing both the 2018 National RV Trade Show, and the 2019 RV Leadership Conference, to focus and combine all efforts on launching a single, new and fully reimagined event in the spring of 2019.
