The North American Trailer Dealers Association (NATDA) plans to bring technology to the forefront in 2025.
The association will host its new Trailer Tech Expo from Feb. 25-27 at Reno-Sparks Convention Center in Reno, Nevada. The event will highlight trailer technology and hands-on technical training for light-to-medium-duty trailer dealership owners and employees.
Event programming is underway. NATDA’s Dealer Advisory and Manufacturer Councils are providing ideas. NATDA is also surveying members to determine their interests.
NATDA Executive Director Andria Gibbon said, “We are extremely pleased to be able to offer another event designed to elevate dealer performance. While our August event, the NATDA Trailer Show, focuses on all aspects of the trailer industry, this new event in February is strictly focused on technology and innovation and offers increased opportunities for hands-on experience in the maintenance and repair of mechanical, hydraulic and electronic enhancements to trailer design.”
The event will include workshops and displays highlighting trailer design and dealership operations. Social and networking events will be provided, including an award ceremony to recognize the most pioneering dealers, vendors and manufacturers.
NATDA CEO Rick McConnell said, “This event will be a unique opportunity for NATDA to not only recognize innovation in our industry but also to expand our technical education programming by developing the first accreditation program for trailer technicians.”
