Overland Expo is less than two weeks away, and that means adventurers from all walks of life will be heading to Flagstaff, Arizona — including plenty of families that overland together! Of course, overlanding is a great family activity, and from the full-time travelers to the weekend warriors, we’re always happy to see kids and parents involved in this wonderful community.
There is so much educational programming in store for attendees at Overland Expo WEST – we can’t wait for you to see it! As always, the schedule will remain available on the website throughout the event and in print on-site in our Overland Expo WEST Newspaper sponsored by HP Tuners. For the most up-to-date version of the schedule, please view it on our Overland Expo App.
Eating, drinking and being merry are easy to do at Overland Expo West. With plentiful options to choose from, including over twenty unique food trucks, special events across the event and even in-booth parties, you’ll be sure to find fun wherever you roam.
Our hands-on pavilion get you out of your seat and into action with a qualified instructor. Each year we bring you technical classes essential for overlanding. Rotating topics cover everything from how-tos about electronics to hands-on maintenance and roadside repairs to injury assessment and first-aid to showing how to set up gear and what to take with you (and sometimes leave behind).
Our classroom sessions aim to provide more intensive and specified education for those looking to do a deeper or more advanced dive into a given topic/area. With our numerous navigation classes, there are no more excuses for getting lost when your GPS dies. Learn communications skills to enhance your overland experience. Brush up on your art of travel techniques with photography and videography classes. Stay safe with situational awareness tips from experts in their field. No matter if you drive a truck or motorcycle, we’ve got classes for you.
AT THE OVERLAND THEATER
Each year we offer a new selection of slideshows of trips from around the world. On Friday and Saturday evenings, we host a special lineup of films at the Fieldcraft Survival Overland Theater. We start with an appetizer of short films before the feature film.
This space includes a teaching area tent that will host education related to content creation, such as photography clinics with incredibly talented photographers, “how to” classes on everything from video creation to the legal terms involved with making money as a content creator, and stories from folks who are traveling around the world.
