2025 Nevada Offroad Summit: October 1-3, 2025
Elko Conference Center – Elko, Nevada
The Nevada Offroad Summit will be back this October, bringing together land managers, industry leaders, offroad enthusiasts, and advocacy groups for three days of collaboration, education, and action. This year, we’re heading to Elko, NV, a gateway to some of the most diverse and rugged offroad terrain in the state.
The theme for this year’s Offroad Summit is Adaptability – Navigating Change in Offroad Recreation.
From evolving land-use policies in a new administration, to advancing technology and shifting community and on-the-ground needs, adaptability is an important aspect to ensuring the future of responsible offroad recreation. Whether you’re working in land management, offroad industry, or trail advocacy, the ability to pivot and innovate in response to challenges is more important than ever.
Join us as we explore how offroad recreation can adapt, thrive, and lead the way in sustainability, access, and innovation.
