The NTEA – The Association for the Work Truck Industry had granted attendees of Work Truck Week 2023 more time to check out the latest commercial vehicles, equipment, and technology from 500 companies thanks to extended exhibit hours. The New Exhibitor Pavilion also returns with an earlier start. Registration for North America’s largest work truck event is now open at worktruckweek.com.
Work Truck Week takes place March 7–10, 2023, at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana. It encompasses The Work Truck Show, Green Truck Summit, Ride & Drive, educational conference, and more. Green Truck Summit is March 7. Educational sessions run March 7–9, and the exhibit hall is open March 8–10.
Work Truck Show exhibits cover all commercial vehicle industry segments. The exhibit hall is open 9:30 a.m.–5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 8, and Thursday, March 9, 30 minutes earlier than prior years. Friday’s hours remain 9 a.m.–noon.
“As Work Truck Week has grown over the last two decades, attendees have asked for more time in the exhibit hall,” said Steve Carey, NTEA president & CEO. “They use this time not just to see the latest products, but also to talk with engineering and technical experts in exhibitor booths, watch equipment demos and experience some of the latest technology in Ride & Drive. Opening earlier on Wednesday and Thursday helps them accomplish their goals.”
The New Exhibitor Pavilion features 25 first-time exhibitors in a dedicated display space beyond the main exhibit hall March 8–9, 8:30 a.m.–4 p.m.
