International Sportsmen’s Expositions CEO/President Brian Layng said: “With the convergence of the outdoor sports, recreation and camping markets, and the versatility of today’s recreational vehicles, we were looking for an opportunity to expand the RV portion of the show. There is no better partner than GS Media & Events. Our three-year joint sponsorship agreement will bring consumers the newest and best in outdoor and recreational vehicles at our WestWorld expo.”
Vilma Fraguada, GS Media & Events President of Consumer Shows, stated: “The Arizona International Sportsmen’s Boat & RV Expo is the state’s largest outdoor show. We are excited to partner with the ISE team to significantly expand and enhance the RV exhibits and RV experiences at this marquee event.”
