Leading chassis manufacturers will gather Oct. 14–15, 2025, at Kalahari Resorts & Conventions (Sandusky, Ohio) to share the latest chassis and technical updates at NTEA’s Commercial Vehicle Upfitting Summit.
“NTEA is pleased to once again host Commercial Vehicle Upfitting Summit, where upfitters can connect with OEM technical experts on the latest product offerings and specifications, as well as attend industry education sessions to broaden their knowledge,” said Kevin Koester, NTEA managing director. “Bringing together these industry professionals to share knowledge and forge connections paves the way for these businesses to continue to collaborate, innovate and get their work done.”
