Indianapolis, Indiana — Lodestone Events, producers of the world’s premier overland and adventure travel event series are set to present the first-ever virtual, online edition of Overland Expo West, Saturday, May 16th. Virtual Overland Expo will preview the education, short films, roundtables and exhibitor show specials to be featured at the rescheduled Overland Expo West event to be held in Flagstaff, Arizona, July 24-26, 2020. The virtual event pays tribute to Expo West’s traditional mid-May dates.

“The overlanding community has been incredibly understanding and supportive of our decision to reschedule Overland Expo West due to the novel coronavirus pandemic,” said Lodestone Events Marketing and Communications VP Jessica Kirchner. “We wanted to bring the community together on Expo West’s traditional event weekend and create an environment where fans and sponsors can learn, interact and get inspired, even if we can’t all be together.”

The Virtual Overland Expo event is a bonus, free experience for attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors alike. However, donations can be made to the Overland Expo Foundation in support of first responders, organizations, and shelters in the Flagstaff, Arizona area, including Threaded Together and Flagstaff Shelter Services.
