The 2026 NATDA Trailer Show, held September 1-3 at Nashville's Music City Center, delivered another record-breaking year on several levels, welcoming more than 4,700 industry professionals and 800+ dealerships to the largest event in show history.

Total registration increased by more than 10% compared to 2025, while dealership attendance grew an additional 4.4% following last year's 12% increase. The continued growth underscores why the NATDA Trailer Show remains “the show dealers never miss,” even in a challenging economic climate, the association noted.

"The energy this year was incredible," said Andria Gibbon, CEM, executive director of NATDA. "From packed education sessions and a Welcome Party filled with new and familiar faces to a buzzing show floor and strong participation throughout the week, the industry showed up in a big way. The continued growth in both overall attendance and dealership participation demonstrates that professionals see tremendous value in coming together to learn, connect, discover new products and invest in the future of their businesses." 

From six football fields of exhibits to expanded education, networking and dealer-focused experiences, the NATDA Trailer Show once again served as a destination for discovering new products, building meaningful connections and gaining the insights needed to grow their business.
