SUMMARY:Strategic Mini-Summit: What Park Owners Believe vs What’s Actually True
DESCRIPTION:In a world where we are bombarded with chatter and information\, park owners are making critical decisions based on what seems to be true. This session confronts that gap between what we believe and what is actually true head-on. Using brand-new research from Scott Bahr\, we’ll unpack the myths\, misinterpretations\, and outdated narratives that are quietly shaping park operations\, pricing strategies\, guest experience decisions\, and long-term planning. We’ll see where owner beliefs align with the data—and where they don’t. For parks to succeed in 2026 and beyond\, finding the right data and executing on it will make a significant difference\, and we will show you how. This is not a lecture. It’s a strategic reset. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what’s really happening in the market\, and a framework for making smarter\, more confident decisions. Presented by Scott Bahr\, Sandy Ellingson\, and Robert Preston

SUMMARY:Breakout Session: Winning the Digital Guest: Understanding How Today’s RVers Search\, Compare\, and Book
DESCRIPTION:Myths\, Margins and Missed Opportunities. A clear look at how OTAs influence traveler behavior and how parks can use them to improve visibility and increase direct bookings without losing control. Many park owners question whether OTAs truly help their business or simply add fees. This session offers a clear look at how travelers actually discover campgrounds and why OTAs often play a larger role in visibility than most parks realize. We address common misconceptions and explain the real booking path guests follow\, which often starts on OTAs even when they book directly. Instead of debating the value of OTAs\, we focus on what data shows. Attendees will learn practical ways to use OTAs to strengthen direct bookings\, not replace them.

SUMMARY:Breakout Session: Preparing for the New RV Electrical Standard - Smarter Electrical Infrastructure for RV Parks.
DESCRIPTION:Note: Includes updates on the New Ground Monitoring Interrupters (GMIs) requirements\, how they will impact your park\, and how you can prepare. Utility infrastructure is one of the most overlooked factors in the long-term performance of RV parks\, campgrounds\, and marinas. In this panel discussion\, leaders from Wild Energy and Electrical Works will discuss how electrical design\, pedestal planning\, and utility submetering work together to create more efficient\, reliable\, and profitable properties. The conversation will focus on practical decisions owners and developers face when building or upgrading electrical systems. Panelists will cover common infrastructure mistakes\, planning for future electrical demand\, integrating submeters\, and how modern technology can simplify operations while improving cost recovery and system visibility. Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of how thoughtful electrical infrastructure planning can improve operations today while preparing properties for tomorrow’s demands\nPresented by Heidi Doyle\, Mike Sorensen\, Tristan Ciceri
