2025 FL-AL Convention Offers Strategic Insights for RV Park & Campground Operators

The Florida and Alabama RV Park and Campground Association will host its 2025 Outdoor Hospitality Convention & Expo from May 6 to 9 at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Florida.

This annual event is designed for professionals across the outdoor hospitality sector, including RV park and campground owners, operators, managers, staff, and suppliers. The convention is expected to draw attendees from both states, offering a forum for education, networking, and business development.

The convention will feature a range of educational seminars and expert-led sessions tailored to the operational, marketing, and financial needs of outdoor hospitality businesses.

These sessions aim to help attendees improve park operations, reduce costs, promote their properties more effectively, and train staff to better meet guest expectations.

The inclusion of strategic learning opportunities reflects the growing complexity of the industry and the need for ongoing professional development.

A central component of the event is the Supplier Expo, where vendors will showcase products and services specifically relevant to campground and RV park management. This provides a focused environment for operators to explore new technology, equipment, and service offerings that could directly impact their businesses.

For suppliers, the expo serves as a platform to connect with decision-makers and expand their footprint within the Florida and Alabama markets.

For business owners considering expansion or new investments, the convention offers a structured setting to gather information, hear lessons learned from peers, and build confidence in strategic planning.

Attendees will also gain insights into how to navigate relationships with advisors such as bankers, attorneys, and CPAs—an important aspect of campground ownership and development.

Networking will be a major theme throughout the event, giving attendees the opportunity to exchange experiences, identify partnership opportunities, and engage in conversations that can drive long-term business success.

The host venue, Rosen Shingle Creek, offers on-site lodging for participants, with discounted rates available through a dedicated convention block.

Organizers have simplified the registration process to accommodate both attendees and exhibitors, with support available for those new to the event or industry.

For outdoor hospitality professionals operating in or serving the Southeast U.S. region, the 2025 FL-AL Outdoor Hospitality Convention & Expo presents a timely opportunity to stay informed, build industry connections, and position their businesses for future growth.
