The RV Dealers Convention/Expo is leading the effort to enhance the convention experience through building a program that focuses on an education program that is relevant to different dealership business models, enhances networking opportunities for dealers and their business partners, increases vendor-specific educational opportunities, and develops fixed operation content centered on improving Repair Event Cycle Time.
The RV Dealers Convention is also one of the best places to reconnect with existing business partners and find new ones. As our dealerships grow and get more complicated, so do the systems we use to run our businesses. The convention offers an opportunity to dive deeper into education that helps our employees get the most out of vendor relationships.
The number one reason attendees said they attended the convention last year was “networking.” That’s not a surprise based on how long it had been since we were all able to get together as an industry due to the pandemic. It also shows that, while we continue to value education, it’s the personal experiences we have during the event that make the convention such a valuable part of what RVDA provides to members and the industry.

Focuses on an education program that is relevant to different dealership business models.
Enhances networking opportunities for dealers and their business partners.
Increases vendor-specific educational opportunities.
Develops fixed operation content centered on improving Repair Event Cycle Time (RECT).

Miss Rodeo America
2025-11-30 - 2025-12-08 | South Point Hotel and Casino, 9777 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV, 89183, United States
The Miss Rodeo America Pageant is held every December in Las Vegas in conjunction with the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Reigning State Rodeo Queens from across the country compete for the coveted crown of Miss Rodeo America, judged in the areas of appearance, horsemanship, and personality.
The pageant is more than a competition—it’s an opportunity for young women to gain one of the most rewarding experiences of their lives. Contestants build lifelong friendships, open doors to future careers, and become part of a proud legacy. The young woman crowned Miss Rodeo America steps into history, representing yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
About the Miss Rodeo America Organization

The Miss Rodeo America Organization exists to select a young woman to serve as an official spokesperson for the sport of professional rodeo while also providing educational opportunities for the competitors who take part in the pageant.
Miss Rodeo America will travel more than 100,000 miles during her reign, attending close to 100 rodeo performances and making appearances at schools, civic groups, and community events. Along the way, she helps educate the public and promote awareness of the sport of rodeo, its sponsors, and its traditions.
Talented, articulate, and professional, Miss Rodeo America serves as the ideal ambassador for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA). She represents America’s original professional sport and also works as a model and spokesperson at promotional events, media appearances, and in advertising campaigns for western brands, sponsors, and industry partners.

Dates: November 30 – December 8, 2025
Location: South Point Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas

MJBizcon
2025-12-02 - 2025-12-05 | Las Vegas Convention Center, 3150 Paradise Rd., Las Vegas, NV, 89109, United States
Every December, Las Vegas turns green — and we’re not talking about the felt on the blackjack tables. The cannabis industry takes over the city when MJBizCon rolls into town. It’s that one week when you can’t walk through a hotel lobby without bumping into growers, investors, and entrepreneurs all swapping stories, pitching ideas, and closing deals over cocktails.
We’ve been covering MJBizCon for years, and the vibe never disappoints. The energy hits you the minute you step onto the show floor — rows of massive booths, the smell of innovation (and maybe a little terpenes), and a nonstop hum of people talking business. Whether you’re in cultivation, retail, finance, or tech, this is where the movers and shakers of the industry come to meet.
The 2025 show runs December 2–5 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the biggest yet. More brands, more exhibitors, more after-hours events — and the same electric atmosphere that makes MJBizCon unlike any other trade show in the city.

The Premier Cannabis Business Conference & Expo
MJBizCon didn’t become the biggest cannabis business event in the world by accident. It earned that spot. Every year, it draws a mix of entrepreneurs, investors, retailers, and innovators who show up ready to learn, connect, and get deals done.
This year, the numbers tell the story — more than 20,000 people, 1,000+ exhibitors, 200 speakers, and 70 sessions packed with real talk from the people shaping the industry. The expo floor itself is massive — think four dedicated zones covering Cultivation, Processing & Packaging, Retail, and Business Services — each one buzzing with new products, new ideas, and nonstop energy.
If you’ve never been, it’s the kind of event that hits all your senses at once: lights flashing, people talking over each other to pitch their latest innovation, and that constant undercurrent of opportunity in every corner.
The theme this year is all about connection and growth, and it fits. Whether you’re trying to scale your brand, find a new supplier, or just stay ahead of the curve, MJBizCon 2025 is where you figure out what’s next.
