Organizers of HTUF 2011 are turning their attention to Indianapolis, where the National Truck Equipment Association will hold its 48th Annual NTEA Convention March 5-8, 2012. WTS 2012 will be preceded by Calstart’s Green Truck Summit March 5-6, 2012.
WTS 2011 was held in Indianapolis too. Why go back, marking the first time ever for NTEA to hold back-to-back shows in the same place?
Show attendance was 10,020 – a 24% increase over 2010 and a 10% improvement over the previous record of 9,084 set in 2007, NTEA said when the dust had cleared.
With 560 exhibitors (more than ever) occupying 16% more floor space than in 2010, the Work Truck Show 2011 was also the largest in the event’s 12-year history.
“The Work Truck Show 2011 was our largest and most well-attended event to date,” said Frank Livas, NTEA 2012 convention chairman (he is senior VP at Brake & Clutch, Inc. of Salem, Mass.).
“We’re looking forward to building on that success in Indianapolis in 2012 and beyond,” Livas said.
It’s not surprising then that NTEA has also given notice that the 2013 Work Truck Show will be held at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis – where last year’s show and previous ones set attendance records. The dates are the same as 2012’s: March 5-8, 2013, including the 49th Annual NTEA Convention.
As is planned for 2012 in Indianapolis, it’s likely that WTS 2013 will be preceded by Calstart’s Green Truck Summit in Indianapolis too.
Meanwhile, WTS 2012 registration has opened. NTEA promises 500,000 square feet of vocational trucks and equipment, more than 60
intensive programs on industry topics from upfitting and regulatory compliance to OEM updates and business management, and new products and technical engineering support. The association has also pledged to extend the hours of the WTS exhibition.
