Overland Expo is the premier overlanding event series in the world—no other event offers the scope of classes taught by the world’s leading experts alongside a professional-level trade show that brings together all the camping and vehicle and motorcycle equipment and services you need to Get Outfitted. Get Trained. Get Inspired. Get Going.

Overland Expo EAST is located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains near George Washington & Jefferson National Forests, and Shenandoah National Park.

Overland Expo East will be a weekend packed with activities designed for the adventure rider.  Experience the exciting and challenging activities at our Motorcycle Expedition Skills Area and spend time with old and new friends in the Motorcycle Village.

The Overland Expo’s motorcycle training team will build your riding skills so you can confidently tackle a variety of terrain and environments. Balance. Control. Judgment. Attitude.

These are the cornerstones of adventure riding as taught by the Dragoo Adventure Rider Training (DART) team in the United States and South America, and at Overland Expo since 2017. Bill Dragoo is a certified BMW off-road instructor, certified Motorcycle Safety Foundation rider coach, a member of the U.S. 2010 BMW GS Trophy team, and a moto-journalist. He leads a team of coaches who will engage and encourage you in learning the finer points of managing a dual-sport motorcycle, from basic to advanced levels.

In 2023, the BMW Motorcycle Owners Association will host the Motorcycle Campground at Overland Expo, but no Beemer is necessary to camp out with them because all bikes are welcome. Pack your panniers and grab a Weekend Pass with Camping or Overland Experience ticket and spend the weekend under the pines with the MOA. They’ll be serving up Bivouac coffee in the morning and making sure you have a blast all weekend long.
