NASHVILLE, Tennessee—The North American Trailer Dealers Association (NATDA) Trailer Show once again set records at Music City Center here. The Aug. 27-29 event broke records in net square footage, attendance and exhibitor-count this year, the organization reported.
The NATDA Trailer Show, a business-to-business event that connects the light- to medium-duty trailer industry, welcomed more than 4,000 attendees representing more than 700 North American dealerships. Its exhibit space occupied the most expansive square footage in the show’s history and featured 300-plus exhibitors.
”What an amazing show we had this year: The energy was incredibly positive, the new formats for education were well-received, the show floor was buzzing with excitement, and everyone had a blast at the all-inclusive show party this year,” NATDA Executive Director Andria Gibbon said. “One of the highlights this year definitely included the new Tow Talk format, which was well-attended and included interactive participation from the dealers in attendance. These more intimate sessions enabled dealers to share information on a granular level to help them in their day-to-day operations.”

The NATDA Trailer Show will return to Nashville again at Music City Center in 2025, scheduled for August 26-28. The NATDA expects the show floor to sell out quickly based on the number of already committed exhibitors returning.
“Exhibitor rebooking for the 2025 NATDA Trailer Show is well underway, and we are looking forward to another successful sold-out show,” notes Rick McConnell, NATDA CEO. “The feedback we have been receiving from our exhibiting and sponsor partners has been incredibly positive and that this is a ‘can’t miss’ event for the industry.”
And if one big show is good, then two events must be better. To that end, the Trailer Tech Expo powered by NATDA is designed to be an immersive event focused on all things trailer technology. It will take place in Reno, Nevada, Feb. 25-27, 2025.
