Overland Expo Mountain West, one of the leading events in the global overlanding community, will return to Loveland, Colorado, from August 22 to 24, offering three days of training, exhibitions, and networking for enthusiasts and professionals in the camping, outdoor, and adventure travel industries.
The event will take place at The Ranch Events Complex, featuring more than 300 exhibitors and over 150 classes, demonstrations, and discussions.
According to its website, organizers describe the expo as the overlanding event series, bringing together vehicle and motorcycle outfitters, outdoor gear companies, and educational programming under one roof.
“Overland Expo is the premier overlanding event series in the world—no other event offers the scope of classes taught by the world’s leading experts alongside a professional-level trade show,” organizers said in a statement.
Attendees can expect on-site rustic camping in an open, grassy field, with opportunities to meet fellow overlanders from around the world.
Evening activities include happy hours, fireside chats, and charity raffles, fostering a strong sense of community among participants.
Programming kicks off Friday, August 22, at 8 a.m., with show hours running until 5 p.m. The first evening will feature a happy hour sponsored by Bowen Customs and a Moto Party and Raffle hosted by Rider Justice from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Saturday’s schedule mirrors Friday’s, with educational content, motorcycle demos, and product displays.
Highlights include a happy hour sponsored by Kaymar and the Women Who Wander Fireside Chats and Networking event from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., followed by the Overland Expo Foundation Charity Raffle at 7 p.m.
On Sunday, the event wraps up with final exhibitions and activities from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., continuing the showcase of gear and training from top brands and instructors. The Backcountry & Culinary Pavilion, sponsored by Rugged Luxury Motors, will return for all three days.
Overland Expo Mountain West includes dedicated zones such as the Storytelling Pavilion, The Learning Lab sponsored by Wanderbox, and the Overland Essentials Area. These spaces are designed to deliver in-depth education and product knowledge for overlanders at every level of experience.
The event also offers ADV Moto-specific programming, with a Moto Vendor Village, ADV rider classes, and workshops tailored for both international expeditions and local trail rides.
“Whether you’re interested in learning new skills for an international moto adventure or staying local and just want to come out and play in the dirt, we have something for everyone,” organizers stated.
