Bad weather and travel challenges this week didn't keep the 30th Annual NATM Convention and Trade Show from setting an attendance record

 FORT WORTH, TEXAS. Bad weather and travel challenges this week didn't keep the 30th Annual NATM Convention and Trade Show from setting an attendance record or packing the exhibit hall of the Fort Worth Convention Center with vendors.

More than 1,200 people had picked up credentials as of Thursday afternoon, with another day to go, as industry professionals took in a series of hot-topic briefings and technical sessions, and got a firsthand look at the latest in trailer components, coatings, and manufacturing processes on display by more than 200 exhibitors.

The photo gallery above represents just a sampling of the event. Look for complete coverage in the print edition of Trailer-Body Builders magazine.
