As part of the 2025 RV Dealers Convention/Expo, Allen Phibbs, an independent executive member of the Maxwell Leadership Team, will lead a session titled “Disrupt Yourself Before the Market Disrupts You” on Thursday, November 13, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. in Las Vegas.
The workshop will focus on equipping dealership leaders with the tools to anticipate and adapt to change before external market forces compel it. Phibbs will emphasize how fostering a culture rooted in growth and creativity enables businesses to remain resilient in a shifting industry landscape.
By creating a culture of change, leaders can help their teams pivot from simply performing tasks to leading with purpose. The session will explore how preparation, support, and guidance from leadership can drive meaningful transformation while reducing disruption.
Among the key learning outcomes, participants will gain insight into effective planning for change, engaging teams in the process, and “minimizing resistance.”
Phibbs will also highlight the importance of clear communication in navigating transitions within an organization.
The workshop aligns with the broader goals of the RV Dealers Convention/Expo, which serves as a professional development hub for North American dealership personnel. Each year, the event brings together dealers, manufacturers, and suppliers to exchange ideas and strategies that strengthen the RV retail network.
Attendees of the 2025 convention can expect sessions addressing leadership, marketing, sales, and operations, designed to enhance performance across all departments. The dealer-organized event offers a setting where professionals can connect with peers and learn from industry experts.
The convention also provides valuable networking opportunities in the Expo hall, where attendees can meet potential business partners and discover new products and services. This setting allows for collaboration and exchange of best practices among RV industry stakeholders.
The 2025 RV Dealers Convention/Expo will take place November 10-14 at Paris Las Vegas. The event is sponsored by the RV Dealers Association (RVDA) of the United States, RVDA of Canada, and the Mike Molino RV Learning Center.
“The RVDA Convention/Expo is the premier annual event designed to help you connect, learn, and grow. Join dealers, manufacturers, suppliers, and industry partners for an unparalleled experience,” the event’s website states.
