Work Truck Week 2023 will offer more time for networking, learning opportunities and for checking out the industry’s latest equipment thanks to extended hours.

Registration and hotel booking is now open Work Truck Week 2023 which will take place March 7 – 10 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. Work Truck Week 2023 will include the Work Truck Show, Green Truck Summit, Ride & Drive, educational conference and more.  

The exhibit hall will be extending its hours of operation from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 8, and Thursday, March 9. That’s 30 minutes earlier than prior years. Friday’s hours will remain 9 a.m.–noon.

“As Work Truck Week has grown over the last two decades, attendees have asked for more time in the exhibit hall,” said Steve Carey, president and CEO of NTEA, The Association for the Work Truck Industry which produces Work Truck Week.

The New Exhibitor Pavilion features 25 first-time exhibitors in a dedicated display space beyond the main exhibit hall March 8–9, 8:30 a.m.–4 p.m.

Learning and networking opportunities

The 2023 educational program includes a variety of targeted sessions where industry experts and thought leaders share strategies to help improve efficiency, implement best practices and grow operations.

Concurrent sessions address market data and industry trends, vehicle engineering and compliance, government relations, advanced fuels and vehicle technology, workforce development and more. Registered Conference Package attendees also can access on-demand materials from many of the concurrent sessions after the event concludes. Exclusively at Work Truck Week 2023, 12 leading chassis OEMs provide updates on vehicle changes and upfitting solutions.
