Are you a business owner, creator, or brand with a product or service geared toward outdoor enthusiasts? Then you don’t want to miss the 2026 Arkansas Outdoor Expo—a rapidly growing, high-energy event that’s bringing together the best in outdoor recreation, family adventure, hunting, fishing, national brands, and handcrafted goods.
Here’s why your business should be there as a vendor:
Reach a Targeted, High-Interest Audience
The Arkansas Outdoor Expo attracts outdoor lovers, families, and adventure seekers from across the state—and beyond. Whether you’re selling hunting gear, handmade crafts, or outdoor apparel, this is your chance to get in front of an audience that’s actively looking for what you offer.
Bonus: As the first event in over 10 years dedicated to the outdoor industry in Fort Smith, Arkansas, AOE 2026 is expected to set a new standard among attendees, and exhibitors, with increased marketing, higher foot traffic, and industry depth.
Boost Your Brand Awareness
Nothing beats face-to-face interactions. Exhibiting at the Arkansas Outdoor Expo puts your brand in front of thousands of attendees in a setting built for engagement. From live demos to product samples, it’s your stage to make a lasting impression and stand out in a crowded market.
It’s More Than Just Booth Space—It’s a Community
The Expo is about connection. Vendors regularly say the best part of the experience is networking—not just with customers, but with business owners, and industry leaders connecting your circle to theirs. It’s a place where partnerships are formed, stories are shared, and local businesses support one another.
Drive Sales Onsite and After the Event
With projected attendance numbers and a buying-ready crowd, vendors will engage with marketing professionals to create more than stellar show floor expectations! It doesn’t stop there—by collecting leads, social media follows, and email sign-ups, you build a customer base that can turn one day of exposure into long-term revenue.
