The Work Truck Show is returning to Indianapolis in 2019 as well as 2018.
The NTEA — the Association for the Work Truck Industry — announced in August that the 2019 version of the annual event will take place March 5-8. The association, which organizes the show, had earlier announced the 2018 show would happen March 6-9.
As has been the case since 2011, the 2018 and 2019 versions of the Work Truck Show will take place at the Indiana Convention Center. The center has an exhibit floor covering over 500,000 square feet.
Registration for the 2018 show will open this fall, according to a news release from the NTEA.
Exhibitors that have already reserved booths at the 2018 show include dozens of service body manufacturers as well as makers of service truck accessories. Among those exhibitors are such familiar brand names as Knapheide, Reading, Auto Crane, Chelsea, Palfinger, Vanair, Boss, VMAC, Venco Venturo, Maintainer, Stellar, Wilcox, and Iowa Mold Tooling.
Meanwhile, the NTEA has issued an exhibitor awareness alert on the Work Truck Show website warning of solicitations from companies implying affiliations with the show or the NTEA when no such affiliations exist. Examples of these include firms offering to book hotel rooms or sell lists of Work Truck Show attendees for use in marketing campaigns.
More information about the show, including exhibitor awareness, is available online at www.worktruckshow.com.
