Work Truck Week · Indiana Convention Center · March

Work Truck Week Trade Show Booth Rentals

Fleet managers and upfitters crawl under the product. A booth here has to stand up to people who build things for a living.

Fixed-price Work Truck Week exhibits — design, fabrication, graphics, freight, installation and dismantle in one number that doesn’t move. Pre-built, lit and photo-approved before it ships, so the booth that meets the commercial vehicle industry in Indianapolis has already stood up once, powered and checked, on our floor.

The kind of booth an upfitter respects

The Work Truck Show floor is walked by the people who specify, build and run vocational trucks: fleet managers comparing total cost, upfitters and distributors choosing the bodies and equipment they will install all year, and chassis engineers checking compatibility. They are practical and they are unimpressed by decoration. The work below is what we build for engineering, systems and technology companies: structures that frame the product rather than competing with it, with a proper place to sit down over a spec sheet, carried by one team from first rendering to dismantle.

Know the floor before you plan the booth

Half the exhibits here arrive on their own wheels

Chassis, service bodies, cranes, plows, aerial devices — on this floor the product is often a vehicle, and the booth is whatever space the vehicle leaves. That reverses the usual order of design: the truck’s dimensions, weight, move-in slot and final angle are settled first, and the exhibit is drawn around them. Component and software suppliers face the opposite problem, which is being noticed at all between rows of upfitted trucks.

Indianapolis — a convention center and a stadium

Connected halls · vehicle move-in

The show fills the Indiana Convention Center and extends onto the connected stadium floor, with vehicles driven or towed to their marks on a schedule the general contractor sets before surrounding booths go up. Miss the vehicle window and the truck may not reach its position. We design to your confirmed vehicle footprint, keep flooring and structure clear of the move-in path, and time our install to follow the iron.

Vehicles bring their own rulebook

Fuel · batteries · floor protection

Show rules govern fuel levels, battery disconnection, drip protection and how equipment such as cranes or aerial devices may be displayed and raised. Those rules shape the layout — where people can stand, what can be demonstrated, how high anything goes. We clear the vehicle and any raised equipment with show management before design is locked, so the display you planned is the one you are allowed to run.

The March calendar

Winter freight into the Midwest

A March show puts the advance-order cutoff in mid-January, with the holiday break sitting inside the approval period. It also means freight crossing the Midwest in late winter, when a storm can take two days out of a transit plan. We ship with margin and to the advance warehouse where it makes sense, so weather is an inconvenience rather than an empty booth on opening morning.

What we handle in Indianapolis
  • Design around your vehicles and equipment — footprint, weight and move-in sequence confirmed first
  • Layout submission and show approval, including raised or operating equipment
  • Electrical, rigging and material handling orders calculated and filed at advance rates
  • Coordination with the general contractor on vehicle spotting
  • Union labour coordination and on-site supervision
  • COI, EAC and exhibitor-manual deadlines mapped to our calendar
  • Dismantle, pack and outbound freight
Billed by the show, not by us

Booth space, electrical, drayage, rigging and cleaning are billed to every exhibitor directly by the show, the venue or the show’s general contractor — no exhibit house can absorb them and none should claim to. What we do is calculate them for your exact booth before you commit, and file every order at advance rather than floor rates.

  • Booth space
  • Electrical drops and floor distribution
  • Material handling (drayage)
  • Rigging, if you’re hanging a sign
  • Daily cleaning · internet
Why a fixed price matters most here

The budget you present in autumn should survive March

Trade show invoices have a habit of growing between quote and show: labour hours over estimate, revisions rebilled as change orders, graphics reprints, supervision time nobody flagged. Our model is the opposite — the number you approve is the number you pay, contractually. Design revisions are unlimited until you approve. The quote and the final invoice are the same document.

01

One number, and it holds

Design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, lighting, freight, installation, dismantle and project management in a single fixed price.

02

Proven before it ships

Your booth stands fully assembled and lit at our 65,000 sq ft facility, and you approve photographs of the actual build — not a render.

03

Show costs, known up front

Space, electrical, drayage and rigging calculated for your exact booth before you commit — so the total is a number, not a range.

04

The paperwork is ours

COI, EAC, electrical, network, rigging, freight windows — filed at advance rates, mapped to every exhibitor-manual deadline. Nothing lands on your desk three days before it’s due.

We quote higher and cost less. That’s the whole argument, and it’s why every booth below is published with its price rather than hidden behind a “request a quote” form.

Working backwards from March

Your real deadline is in mid-January

The advance-order cutoff lands roughly eight weeks before the show — the exact date is in the facts strip at the top of this page, and it updates automatically each edition. For a March show that puts the binding constraint in mid-January. If vehicles are going on the floor, their dimensions and weights have to be final before that, because the layout and the material-handling estimate both depend on them.

Five questions to ask anyone quoting your Work Truck Week booth

Put these to every exhibit house you’re comparing — including us. They separate the vendors that stand behind a number from the ones whose estimate is an opening position. Our answers are printed here so you can hold us to them.

1 Will you put the total price in writing before I sign — and hold it? Ours: yes. Every booth on this page is published with its price. The quote and the final invoice are the same number, contractually. Printed above · hold us to it
2 Do design revisions become change orders? Ours: never. Revisions are unlimited until you approve, and the price is locked before design starts — a better idea in November costs nothing.
3 Will I see my actual booth before it ships — or a render? Ours: the actual booth, fully assembled, powered and lit at our facility, photographed for your sign-off before it leaves for Indianapolis. Renders are promises; photographs are evidence.
4 Who files my advance show orders, and at which rate? Ours: we do, at advance rates, mapped to every exhibitor-manual deadline. With vehicles and heavy equipment on the floor, material handling is usually the largest show-billed line at Work Truck Week, and the advance-versus-floor spread on it is real money — if a vendor can’t answer this immediately, that’s your answer.
5 Who coordinates our vehicle move-in with the booth install? Ours: your project manager — because the truck is spotted before the booth is built, and a structure designed without that sequence ends up in its way. A vendor who treats the vehicle as someone else’s problem will discover the conflict on the show floor. Ask them directly.

Questions Work Truck Week exhibitors actually ask

Work Truck Week booth rental FAQs

How much does a Work Truck Week booth rental cost?
Every booth on this page is published with its Indianapolis price — fixed and all-inclusive: design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, freight, labour coordination and project management. Separately, the show, the venue and the show’s general contractor bill you directly for booth space, electrical, drayage, rigging and cleaning; we calculate those for your exact booth — including any vehicles — before you commit, so the total is known before you sign anything.
When should I book a booth for Work Truck Week?
Lock your design by mid-January. The advance-order deadlines for a March show fall just after the holiday break, so the approvals need to happen before it — start the conversation in early autumn for full design freedom. The exact advance-order deadline for the next edition is in the facts strip at the top of this page and updates automatically.
We’re bringing upfitted trucks. How does that change the booth?
It changes the order of everything. Vehicles are spotted before surrounding booths are built, so we confirm each truck’s footprint, weight and move-in slot first and design the structure, flooring and cable runs around it. Vehicle handling is billed by the general contractor; we estimate it up front and coordinate the timing so the iron and the install never collide.
We sell components or software. How do we get noticed between the trucks?
With height, light and one message. Among full-size work trucks a low inline disappears, so we use the vertical allowance your space permits, a hanging sign where the hall allows it, and a single statement readable from the aisle — then a hands-on display and seating that reward the people who stop.
Will a rental look custom, or will it look reused?
Every booth is fabricated for your brand — custom graphics, layout, lighting and finishes on a modular structure underneath. The builds shown above are rentals. Before yours ships, it stands fully assembled and lit at our facility and you approve photographs of the actual booth, not a render.
Can I install the booth myself to save on labour?
The show floor runs on contracted union labour, and the show’s general contractor governs who may build what. Either way it isn’t your problem to arrange: labour coordination and on-site supervision are inside our fixed price, filed at advance rather than floor rates.
What happens if something goes wrong during move-in?
Your project manager and our install supervisor are on site through move-in and reachable across show days. Because everything was assembled and checked before shipping, the problems that usually surface at this stage — missing hardware, graphics that don’t fit, panels that won’t seat — have already been found and fixed on our floor, weeks earlier.
A vendor just fell through. How fast can you deliver a Work Truck Week booth?
Four to six weeks from approval to show floor for complete pre-built, photo-verified booths from 10×10 through 20×40 — at the same fixed price as a six-month lead time, with no rush surcharge. For a March show, the earlier in the winter you call, the more of that window sits at advance rather than floor rates.
Do you handle dealer and fleet customer events off the show floor?
Yes — hotel suites, customer dinners and hosted evenings in downtown Indianapolis run under the same fixed-price model, coordinated by the same project manager as your booth.
