These are incredible, next-level numbers of attendance and engagement.

We also handed out media passes to nearly 250 journalists from around the world, who reported on our exhibitors and their products and about the events themselves. Those 77,000 fans participated in nearly 1,700 session-hours of education across the 1,380 classes that were offered during the 2022 event series. They visited with the more than 1,300 exhibitors we hosted on site. This year, we welcomed 77,000 attendees through the gates across our four shows.
#BEST OF OVERLAND EXPO WEST SERIES#

It’s no surprise that Pacific Northwest was such a success Oregon is an epicenter for overlanding and outdoor recreation. Held in Redmond, Oregon, just outside Bend, Overland Expo Pacific Northwest hosted 16,000 attendees and 345 exhibitors - incredible numbers for a first-ever show.

No doubt, 2022 was the biggest year for Overland Expo to date. And we launched a fourth Overland Expo event. We raised thousands of dollars for the Overland Expo Foundation. We educated, outfitted, and inspired hundreds of overlanders. We welcomed thousands of new attendees and hundreds of new exhibitor brands into the overlanding community. This year brought a lot of growth and change in our show series as well as the overlanding industry itself. Now that Overland Expo East 2022 is in the books, it’s time for us to look back at an incredible year for Overland Expo and the overlanding community.
