Work Truck Week, which its host NTEA (The Work Truck Association) calls North America's largest work truck event, returns to the Indiana Convention Center in downtown Indianapolis from Tuesday 9 to Friday 12 March 2027. The week opens with the new Future Truck Summit on 9 March, a full day technology conference developed with NAFA Fleet Management Association, followed by The Work Truck Show exhibit hall from 10 to 12 March, the Ride and Drive on 10 and 11 March, the NTEA Annual Meeting on 11 March and an educational programme from 9 to 11 March. More than 500 exhibiting companies show commercial vehicles, truck bodies, chassis, components and equipment, and NTEA puts average attendance at nearly 16,000 industry professionals from fleets, upfitters, distributors, dealers and manufacturers. Indianapolis hosts the event every March, and NTEA has already published dates through 2030. Downtown hotels linked to the convention centre by skywalk keep the daily walk short, and the city's airport is about 15 minutes away. This page shows live Indianapolis hotel rates for the event dates, which you can change. Registration is with NTEA, separate from your hotel, and Event Escapes is independent of Work Truck Week.
