More than 8,400 industry professionals attended The Work Truck Show 2009 and 45th Annual National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA) in Chicago last month – a nearly 20 percent increase and the second largest attendance in the show’s 10-year history. The show featured nearly 500 exhibitors of vocational trucks, components and equipment.
“The fact that the Work Truck Show grew significantly during these exceptionally tough economic times is a testament to the value this event provides to NTEA manufacturer and distributor members, as well as to truck dealers, fleet managers and end users,” said Jim Carney, NTEA executive director. “The NTEA Board of Trustees and staff work hard to continuously improve the show and convention in order to offer timely, relevant training sessions while also working directly with exhibitors to bring more cutting-edge new products to the event. As a result, the Work Truck Show has become the industry’s leading showcase for equipment innovation and education.”
