Overland Expo East is just around the corner! It’s our last event of the year and
INEOS Grenadier will be sponsoring a Ride and Drive experience at Overland Expo East 2024. The Ride and Drive will give the chance for attendees to get up close and personal with the rugged capabilities, robust engineering, and off-road prowess of the Grenadier.
Throughout the year Overland Expo has launched a new addition to each of our 2024 events with the new Women Who Wander program.
Our training pavilions get you out of the classroom and into the field. Each year we bring you technical classes essential for overlanding. Rotating topics to cover everything from how-tos about electronics to hands-on maintenance and roadside repairs to first aid and injury assessment to showing how to set up gear and what to take with you (and sometimes leave behind).
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.
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 Overland Theater. We start with 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.

One of the most talked-about parts of Overland Expo PNW was the hands-on training powered by @comeupwinchusa 💥
Led by the world-renowned Overland Expo Training Team, participants got behind the wheel of their own rigs to gain real-world driving and recovery skills on a custom-built off-road course.
From winching and tire repair to trail-ready driving techniques and Tread Lightly! principles, attendees walked away more confident, capable, and prepared to tackle any adventure.
🎯 This in-depth training experience is only offered at Overland Expo PNW—don’t miss your chance to join us next year!
