- Paul May from Equipt Expedition Outfitters
"For Goverland, and its GOAT Expandable Camper, Overland Expo was better than expected. We were able to find not only US domestic dealers for our Camper, but also able have constructive business conversations with potential distributors in Europe, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Saudi Arabia. Consumer traffic was non-stop. We will absolutely return in 2025!"
- Doug Jensen from Goverland

"What an incredible three days! Our goals were to introduce our company and two new products to the Overland market, form B2B industry partnerships, and meet as many Overland community members as possible. Without a doubt, we were able to accomplish all three and more! Being face to face with so many other passionate, knowledgeable, collaborative, and imaginative community members and business owners is valuable. I highly recommend it!"
