In their annual business meeting, the Ohio Rental Dealers reviewed the success of the past year and planned for the best Expo ever.  With one of the nation’s largest regional RTO shows continuing to be a vital part of Ohio’s vibrant rental community, the board agreed to sweeten the pot in 2017. This year’s EXPO will be held on September 12th and 13th at the Doubletree in Worthington, Ohio, just on the northside of Columbus.

The board agreed with unanimous vote to provide all Ohio dealers in good standing $500 dollars worth of vouchers to use to support vendors at this years show. They also plan to bring in a great Casino Night for the Tuesday night entertainment. Stay tuned for the announcement of an exciting local celebrity for their keynote speaker.  

Space is limited for vendors. Please contact ORDA Board President, Mike Tissot or ORDA Board VP, Keith Ferriman to reserve your space. Training vendors, booths, table tops as well as many sponsorships are available on a first come, first served basis.
