Two Published Windows

NTEA dates Work Truck Week 2027 to March 9-12, 2027 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. The venue's own event record carries March 10-12, 2027 for the same event. The second window covers the exhibit hall's three published days.

The week carries four published blocks. Future Truck Summit opens on Tuesday, March 9. The educational program runs March 9-11. The Work Truck Week Ride and Drive runs March 10-11. The Work Truck Show exhibit hall runs March 10-12.

The Summit Opens The Week

Future Truck Summit is NTEA's commercial vehicle technology conference. It kicks off Work Truck Week on March 9, 2027 and holds the JW Marriott Indianapolis on the Tuesday of the week. The exhibit hall opens the following day.

NTEA develops the program with NAFA Fleet Management Association. The format is a keynote address and general sessions in the morning, lunch, and a choice of breakouts in the afternoon. The conference ran first in 2009 as Green Truck Summit.

Arrival And Departure Nights

A Tuesday arrival against the Friday close of the hall books three nights: March 9, 10 and 11. A Monday, March 8 arrival adds a fourth night ahead of the summit.

The convention center sits at 100 South Capitol Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46225. The venue switchboard is (317) 262-3400. Lucas Oil Stadium carries 500 South Capitol Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46225 in the same footer block.

The Airport Run And The Floor

The venue's own footer gives 15 minutes to the Indianapolis International Airport. The same footer counts 200 downtown restaurants within walking distance of the building.

Skywalks And Rooms Near The Floor

The convention center reports 4,700 rooms connected to the building by skywalk and 7,100 hotel rooms in downtown Indianapolis. More than half of the downtown rooms sit within blocks of the convention center and Lucas Oil Stadium.
