The RV industry is preparing for RVIA's National RV Trade Show at the newly renovated Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC) November 27-29 in Louisville KY. This year marks the 45th year of the National RV Show and as usual exhibit space is sold out.

A total of 101 RV, chassis, and park trailer manufacturers and 318 supplier companies are on board to display the latest products and RV models over more than 922,000 net square feet of exhibit space.

The sprawling KEC complex has been undergoing a $52 million renovation, scheduled for completion in early fall. The renovation limited exhibitor space at the 2006 show, but this year the KEC's new North (formerly East) Wing will house exhibitors.

"We are glad that the renovations have progressed on schedule and very excited to hold the 45th annual National RV Trade Show in the newly refurbished KEC," said Mike Hutya, RVIA's vice president of meetings and shows. "We anicipate a very successful and productive event this year."

Events and Seminars Scheduled

RVIA's popular kick-off breakfast, Outlook 2008, will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 27 from 6:30 - 9:00 am in the KEC South Wing, Mezzanine Level Ballroom.

Attendees can take advantage of several sales and product seminars offered throughout the three-day show. Acclaimed industry expert Randy Sobel will deliver two informative seminars during the National RV Show. On Wednesday, Nov. 28, Sobel will discuss "Strategies to Increase Your Profits by $1000 Per Sale."

On Thursday, Nov. 29, he will deliver "How to Become 'UP-FREE' (The Beat Customers Ask For You!)."

In addition to these seminars, there will also be a series of hour-long propreietary seminars throughout the three-day event. The seminars are led by exhibitors chosen in a lottery, and are offered at no cost to attendees.

The National RV Trade Show is a closed industry event that is open to the media but not open to the public.
