WELCOME TO CHARLESTON A note from the Expo cofounders
Two years ago, we set out to build something the golf cart industry didn't have: a dedicated space for dealers to learn, connect, and grow alongside the manufacturers, distributors, and innovators who make this business move. What started as a single event in Charleston has become, in just its second year, the industry's largest gathering of its kind. This year, we're back in Charleston with more of everything that made our first Expo special, and a few new additions we think you're going to love. Our exhibit floor has doubled in size and sold out, bringing you more than 80 vendors showcasing the newest products and technology in the industry. Our education program has grown to more than 30 sessions, built to help dealers at every stage, from those just getting started to multi-location operators looking to scale. We've also listened to your feedback. This year introduces the VIP Experience Pass, giving more dealers access to the full VIP experience. And when Friday night rolls around, get ready for GolfCarting Expo After Dark, a live concert experience unlike anything we've done before.
Whatever brings you to Charleston this year, whether it's the education, the exhibitors, the networking, or all of it, we built this Show for you. Explore the floor. Sit in on a session. Test drive something new. Meet the people shaping where this industry goes next.

NEW FOR 2026 Two handson ways to evaluate what you are buying
MOVE BEYOND THE SHOW FLOOR This year brings two brand-new hands-on experiences to the Show, giving dealers and technicians the chance to go beyond the show floor and get real, direct experience with the products they're evaluating.
TEST DRIVE TRACK
TECH TRAINING BOOTHS
For the first time, dealers can get behind the wheel and actually drive new golf carts from several participating manufacturers, not just sit in one on the show floor and take a sales rep's word for it. There's a real difference between hearing about how a cart performs and feeling it for yourself, and this year's Test Drive Track gives you that opportunity. Located in the lower level of the covered parking deck next to the Convention Center, the track runs Thursday and Friday from 11am to 4pm, with several brands participating. No signup is required, but time and space are limited, so keep that in mind as you plan your days in Charleston.
Sometimes the best conversations happen away from the noise of the show floor. That's the idea behind our new Tech Training Booths this year. Several companies will host hands-on training and Q&A sessions in dedicated 20x20 booths, separate from their main exhibit space, running Thursday from 10am to 4pm. Each vendor sets their own content and schedule, giving dealers and technicians the chance to dig into the specifics of a product without the pressure to move along that comes with a busy show floor. If you've ever wanted more time to ask deeper questions about a product, this is your chance.
LEARN IT. DRIVE IT. BUILD THE NEXT MOVE.

CHARLESTON AFTER THE EXPO History, flavor, water and wonder minutes from the show floor.
When the show floor winds down, Charleston opens up: a walkable historic core, harbor views, beaches, Lowcountry food and stories that reach far beyond the postcard. Start by choosing the kind of time you have, then build from there.
STAY CLOSE
GO COASTAL
HEAD NORTH
Waterfront Park, The Battery, Rainbow Row, City Market and many standout restaurants are clustered on the peninsula. If you have only a few hours, downtown delivers the most variety with the least driving.
For ocean time, choose Folly Beach, Sullivan’s Island or Isle of Palms. Each has a different feel, from surf-town energy to a quieter village atmosphere.
Near the venue, Riverfront Park offers river views and event space, while Park Circle delivers a compact mix of restaurants, breweries and local energy.
QUICK FACT | Charleston was founded in 1670 and moved to its present peninsula location in 1680.

A CITY OF MANY STORIES Look beyond the postcard.
Charleston’s appeal is not only architecture and food. The region’s history includes Native, African, European and Caribbean influences, with Gullah Geechee culture central to the Lowcountry story.
GULLAH GEECHEE CULTURE
INTERNATIONAL AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSEUM
Learn from sites and organizations that center the people who preserved language, foodways, music, craft and community traditions across the coastal Southeast.
Located at Gadsden’s Wharf, the museum explores African American history and the global African diaspora. Timed tickets are recommended.
PRESERVATION + ARCHITECTURE
PLANTATIONSITE VISITS
A guided walk can turn beautiful buildings into a deeper story about commerce, labor, conflict and preservation.
Choose sites that clearly interpret slavery and African American history, not only gardens and architecture.

COAST + LOWCOUNTRY Choose your pace, from sand to salt marsh.
Charleston’s coastline is close enough for an easy side trip, but each beach has a different personality. Choose the one that matches your pace.
FOLLY BEACH
SULLIVAN'S ISLAND
ISLE OF PALMS
Casual, energetic and surf-oriented, with a walkable commercial strip and a broad public beach.
A quieter village feel with wide beach access, historic military sites and strong dining options.
A classic beach destination with familyfriendly access, rentals and a polished resort atmosphere.
COAST SMART | Check parking rules, beach regulations and weather before you go. Traffic can build quickly around bridges and weekend beach access.

PICK YOUR WINDOW Match the plan to the time you actually have.
23 HOURS
HALF DAY
FULL DAY
Do Waterfront Park, Rainbow Row and The Battery. Add City Market only if parking and timing cooperate.
Add a museum, guided history tour or Fort Sumter. Reserve timed experiences in advance.
Pair downtown with a beach, North Charleston stop or a longer cultural site visit.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
TASTE THE LOWCOUNTRY
Downtown is walkable but parking can take time. Beach traffic can change quickly. Book popular tours and restaurants early. Check official sources for current hours, tickets and access.
Look for shrimp and grits, oysters, she-crab soup, fresh local seafood and dishes shaped by Gullah Geechee food traditions.

THANK YOU FOR AN INCREDIBLE EXPO See you next year!
To every dealer, exhibitor, speaker, and consumer who joined us this year, thank you. This Show exists because of you, and the energy you brought to Charleston over the past three days is exactly why we started this event in the first place. Whether you traveled here to learn, to sell, to teach, or simply to see what's new in this industry, you made this Expo what it was, and we are grateful you chose to spend your time and energy with us.
This year, due to capacity, we had to turn away vendors who wanted to be part of the Show, and that tells us something important: this industry is ready for more. We're already looking ahead to making next year even bigger and better, and we can't wait to welcome you back for our third annual GolfCarting Expo & Dealer Summit in 2027. Dates will be announced during this year's Show, so keep an eye out before you head home. Thank you again for being part of this. Christian, Matt, Nick, and the entire GolfCarting Expo & Dealer Summit Team
We started this event because the golf cart industry deserved a place of its own, a space built specifically for the dealers, manufacturers, and innovators who move this industry forward every single day. Watching that vision come to life again this year, and seeing the industry show up in even greater numbers, has been nothing short of humbling. We are honored that so many of you have come alongside us to help build the only event of its kind dedicated entirely to golf carts.
