It was good meeting you too, Bernhard. You can count on seeing me at OX2013!

Mr. Zero and the AZ contingent can respond as they've attended, but this event (to my knowledge) was started by Jonathan Hanson and his wife Roseanne when he was on the full time staff of Overland Journal. I'm guessing that this is has gone on for 3 or 4 years and it happens in AZ as that's where the Hansons are based.

As you can see from their photos, the guys in AZ have countless offroading options so it's an ideal venue for overlanding types. Folks attend from all over the world (those who may be passing through from Germany to China or Alaska to Patagonia etc.) and the attendees are there for seminars, product demonstrations etc.

There's an event like this in Europe that's ben touched on in other posts as far as I know.

Cool! I am not sure I could ever make that in the Pinz...cost of gas would kill me, even in the US, but possibly the Ural......:idea:

Looks like the Pinz received a modest mention in the Sept/Oct 2012 Motor Trend's Truck Trend coverage of Overland Expo.

There's a nice write up on the event in the latest issue of Four Wheeler too.
