The 2026 Arkansas Outdoor Expo is a highly anticipated event that the Fort Smith, Arkansas outdoor community voiced an opinion on not only reinventing the “what was,” but also illustrating “what it is to be.”
Since September 2024, AOE26 has received a lot of attention through in-person, and online discussion. It has been several years since an outdoors industry style expo has been hosted in this area and that’s a problem for an area rich in supporting, and promoting the many outdoor lifestyles, and business found nearby.
There have been similar events catering to the outdoor consumer, and brands, but with a more precise focus. AOE26 is working alongside Discover Fort Smith, through numerous partnerships and sponsors to make this event an annual location, and date.
With a full floorplan exceeding 40.00 sqft of product exposure and education opportunities, our host, the Fort Smith Convention Center is the perfect location for a venue of its size, specifically for future growth.
The Arkansas Outdoor Expo is currently attracting brands from hunting, fishing, camping, kayaking, off-road etc., from within Arkansas, and beyond to fully encompass the many passions found in the woods, and on the water, or on the trail!
Arkansas Outdoor Expo is fully committed to providing a safe and professional environment for families, brand ambassadors, industry professionals, and children of all ages.
