TL;DR
Overland Expo Pacific Northwest packs a full weekend of buying and learning into one Central Oregon venue. Visitors can compare 300+ brands, sit in 150+ classes and demos, test a trail driving course and camp on site from Thursday to Monday. Day passes start at $15, parking is free and the show runs rain or shine, making it a practical planning weekend for anyone building a vehicle or booking a backcountry trip.
Overland Expo PNW brings a concentrated audience of vehicle owners, campers and adventure travellers who are actively spending on gear and upfits. Exhibitors get three days of face time with buyers from Oregon, Washington and beyond, plus access to a camping crowd that stays on site and shops across the weekend. The show’s classes, demos and happy hours create repeated booth visits rather than a single pass-by.

Edition recap
Overland Expo PNW 2026 in Redmond welcomed over 16,000 attendees, 295 exhibitors and 221+ hours of education, with attendees from 41 states and 5 countries.
New this edition
Trail Course Experience
A hands-on driving course run by the Overland Expo Training team, bookable with a day or camping pass.
SourceImpact
Overland Expo PNW is a consumer-facing weekend that still works as a trade event because the audience arrives with specific build plans and budgets. The 2025-2026 editions drew 16,000-16,500 people and roughly 300 exhibitors, giving brands enough density to justify a three-day stand and repeated demonstrations.
Audience quality
The crowd skews toward experienced vehicle owners, campers and adventure travellers from Oregon, Washington and neighbouring states. They stay on site, attend classes and return to the exhibitor area across the weekend, so conversations go deeper than a single aisle pass. Families and newcomers are present, but the core buyer is already outfitting a vehicle.
Exhibitor outcomes
The show rewards demonstrators: recovery, suspension, power and camping brands that run hands-on demos convert well, while static booths rely on the 150+ class programme to pull traffic. Camping packages keep buyers on site for three days, extending selling hours. No audited ROI or rebooking rate has been published, so treat returns as pipeline building rather than guaranteed floor sales.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Overlanding has moved from niche hobby to a mainstream outdoor category, and the Pacific Northwest is one of its densest markets. Redmond sits within a day’s drive of the Cascades, the Oregon coast and the high desert, giving brands access to buyers who actually use their gear. The show’s camping model keeps those buyers on site for three days.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Vehicle-ready travel systems
Buyers want factory-fit or bolt-on systems for power, water, refrigeration and sleep, not loose camping gear. Exhibitors that show a complete, weight-conscious build attract the longest conversations.
What it changes: Build-focused shoppers arrive with a vehicle and a budget, so integrated systems outsell single accessories at this show.
SourceWeight and payload discipline
As more owners upfit mid-size trucks and SUVs, payload, GVWR and tongue weight have become mainstream buying criteria. Recovery and armour brands are being asked for lighter options.
What it changes: Brands that publish weights and fitment data shorten the sales cycle and reduce returns.
Camping as the show format
Multi-night camping passes turn the expo into a weekend community event, with classes, happy hours and film screenings around the exhibitor area.
What it changes: On-site campers produce repeat booth visits and stronger lead quality than a single-day pass.
