NTEA, the Association for the Work Truck Industry, has announced location and date information for its annual Work Truck Show for the next two years.

The show will return to Indianapolis — site of the last three events — in both 2014 and 2015, the association announced. The show will take place at the Indiana Convention Center.

Next year, the show will be held from March 5–7, preceded by educational programs and the annual Green Truck Summit on March 4.

In 2015, it will take place from March 4–6, NTEA said. Educational programming, including the Green Truck Summit, begins March 3.

NTEA said the show has grown in size and attendance since moving to Indianapolis in 2011. Previously, the event rotated among cities. The March 2013 event drew the second highest number of attendees in history, topped only by the 2012 show, NTEA said.

“We’ve had a lot of success in Indianapolis and are fortunate to be able to confirm dates there through 2015,” says Steve Carey, NTEA executive director.

The Work Truck Show boasts annual attendance of around 10,000 fleet managers, equipment buyers, manufacturers, maintenance personnel, distributors, and dealers. The show floor contains 500,000 square feet of the vocational trucks, vans and equipment, plus three days of educational sessions and a ride-and-drive event, NTEA said.
