Empower the Industry: Become a Convention Sponsor Today

Posted By: Aileen Valido NATM News, Convention & Trade Show,

As a not-for-profit 501(c)6, the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM) relies on the annual Convention & Trade Show to fund association programming. Revenue generated from the Convention is directly funneled back into benefits for members including government affairs representation and advocacy, the Compliance Verification Program, the creation of reputable safety resources and education, the establishment of the NATM Academy training program, and nationwide Trailer Safety Week efforts. The money generated from the annual Convention is used to improve trailer safety across the nation, and it is thanks to the support of sponsors that NATM is able to offset costs for the association, attendees, and ultimately the industry at large. 

Not only does sponsoring provide exceptional brand exposure and visibility within the light- and medium-duty trailer manufacturing realm, it also exemplifies your commitment to the industry. For those looking to reach industry decision-makers, this is the event to create a buzz!

Sponsorships are still available for the annual NATM Convention & Trade Show. The success of the NATM Convention is directly tied to the support of its generous sponsors. There are marketing and general sponsorship opportunities available from $500 to $50,000 to fit any budget and strategy, including networking receptions, the Welcome Event featuring Dueling Pianos, Trade Show lounges, and more! Being a sponsor allows your company early access to booth selection for the 2026 show and provides a wide range of exposure, both electronically on NATM’s website and mobile app, and in print in several issues of Tracks Magazine. This name recognition will help drive customers to your booth and provide unique opportunities for your team to make meaningful connections with attendees. 

NATM will work with you to find the sponsorship opportunity that best fits your company’s goals. Several key sponsorships are still available and expected to sell out fast.
