Trailer Safety Week offers a unique opportunity for the entire trailer industry to come together and make the nation’s roadways safer one trailer at a time. Trailer dealers are encouraged to participate as Trailer Safety Allies to help further TSW’s mission to improve the safety of the nation’s roadways by increasing awareness on safe trailering practices.

Held the first week of June every year, Trailer Safety Week reaches over 60,000 individuals annually. It is the first nationwide traffic safety initiative aimed at addressing safe towing practices for light- and medium-duty trailers. NATM has developed content and resources in furtherance of this mission, all available through TrailerSafetyWeek.com.
​
This year’s national awareness campaign takes place June 7-13, 2020. Trailer Safety Week has historically featured both onsite facility events and online presence. For 2020, NATM is encouraging trailer dealers, manufacturers, and suppliers to focus efforts online to reach end-users!

Booth space for the Annual NATM Convention & Trade Show in Nashville, Tenn. Feb. 23-25, 2021 is now open! The opportunity to select exhibitor space at the 2021 trade show has been made available to suppliers and service providers in the phases outlined below. The exhibit floor has sold out in recent years, with space selling out in October of 2019 for the 2020 show, so don’t delay!
 
Phase 1: 2020 sponsors choose their booths first in the order of their sponsorship levels:

• $30,000 and higher
• $10,000-$29,999
• $7,500-$9,999
• $5,500-$7,499
• $2,500-$5,499
• $250-$2,499

 
Phase 2: 2020 non-sponsor exhibitors will be notified by Membership & Events Director Kelli Maydew to select their booths. 

Phase 3: Booth registration opens up to all members and non-members. 
 
The 2020 sponsors and exhibitors that sign up by June 15 will receive a discounted rate of $1,228 per 10’x10’ booth. The rate for any member that signs up for booth space after June 15 will be $1,428 per 10’x10’ booth. Booth spaces for non-members of NATM are $2,856.
 
On the day your booth selection window opens, you will receive an email from NATM notifying you that the booth sales application is now available online for your company. Within this email a unique code is provided that, when entered, pre-populates the online booth sales application. Within the app, exhibitors can view the 2021 show floorplan and select the desired booth(s).
 
During the completion of the online application, exhibitors pay for their booth(s) with a credit card. Once NATM show management approves the application, an email containing login credentials to the exhibitor dashboard is sent. The dashboard allows exhibitors to update their company profile and contact information and view other important information relevant to the upcoming show. As always, the sign up for booth space is first-come, first-served. You can sign up at any time after your group’s window begins. If you miss the window for your group, the privilege of choice during your group’s time is lost. Be sure to mark your calendar to remember to sign up as soon as you receive your email from NATM! 

For detailed Trade Show information, please refer to the 2021 Exhibitor Brochure! 

Sponsorships for the 2021 Convention & Trade Show are now available. As always, the NATM Convention & Trade Show would not be possible without the support of its generous sponsors. There are sponsorship opportunities available from $500 to $50,000 to fit any budget.

The full 2021 Sponsorship Brochure can be found here.

Being a sponsor of the 2021 show allows you to select your 2022 booth before non-sponsor exhibitors and the general membership, as well as provides a wide range of exposure, both electronically on NATM’s website and mobile app and in print on the convention program map and in Tracks. This creates name recognition, which helps drive customers to your booth.
