The Glamping Show Americas officially kicks off today (Sept. 29) with a full slate of educational sessions and the opening of its vendor expo, which features nearly 200 vendors.
The conference is expected to draw over 2,000 trade show visitors, mainly due to its wide breadth of accommodation units, which cover about every aspect of the glamping industry.
