The North American Trailer Dealers Association Trailer Show once again has been named to Trade Show Executive’s prestigious Gold 100 list of top trade shows.
The award for the 2023 event marks the NATDA Trailer Show’s second consecutive year to have made it to the list.
The Gold 100 are ranked by net square feet of paid exhibit space, and the collective total for all the Gold 100 shows was 35,064,651 net square feet. The overall total of exhibiting companies was 88,018, and the overall attendance for the shows that reported the metric totaled 2,419,478 attendees, according to TSE. Based on the $36.61 average space rate, the Gold 100 shows featured nearly $1.3 billion of exhibit space.
“We are honored to have been named to the Trade Show Executive Gold 100 for the second year in a row,” said Andria Gibbon, CEM, executive director of NATDA. “This recognition has inspired our team to continue our 16-year legacy—creating exceptional events that really elevate and ignite the light-to medium-duty trailer industry. We are grateful to be listed alongside renowned events like SEMA and CES.”
Gold 100 Honorees receive recognition at the TSE Gold 100 Awards & Summit, which takes place September 17-19 at the Ritz Carlton, Bacara, in Santa Barbara, CA. During the event, the rankings of all shows honored will be unveiled.
“We’d like to express our gratitude to our all of our sponsors and to our creative and hardworking exhibitors and vendors who make our show the huge, unforgettable, and invaluable experience that it is,” said Gibbon, “We can’t wait for August’s 2024 NATDA Trailer Show!”
