The NATSO Show 2015 Heads to Las Vegas, Early Bird Registration Open

/

NATSO, the trade association representing the truckstop and travel plaza industry, is excited to announce that its 2015 annual show will be held Feb. 16-19 at the Wynn Las Vegas. The NATSO Show is the premier gathering place for the nation’s truckstop and travel plaza owners and operators and provides two-and-a-half days of smart ideas, great new products and good advice designed to meet the unique needs of the industry’s leaders.

“In 2015, industry executives, buyers and managers will converge in Las Vegas to collaborate with and learn from top industry experts and key industry suppliers who will share insights on today’s ahead-of-the-curve trends and offer up cutting-edge solutions tailored to truckstop and travel plaza operators,” said NATSO President and CEO Lisa Mullings.

She added, “In addition to finding a wealth of knowledge and new products at the show, operators will learn what is coming next from the government and obtain new business contacts that may lead to new business opportunities. Taking time to attend the show is certainly an investment, but by stepping away from their business to learn and explore new ideas and proven strategies, operators will see a return on their investment for years to come.”

Darren Schulte, NATSO’s vice president, membership, said, “In today’s world, competition is increasing, improved mileage for all vehicles on the road is reducing the number of stops by drivers, and consumers are demanding more personalized service before opening their wallets to spend. Operators are working to streamline their operations to meet these opportunities. The NATSO Show will provide insights into all of this and more. Not only will operators find new products and great ideas, they will also connect with their fellow operators who can serve as a resource long after the show is over.”

Attendees from around the country turn to The NATSO Show to find new products, technical solutions and services that will improve the efficiency and profitability of their operations, which makes it a premier place for industry suppliers to share information about their businesses.

“I encourage anyone interested in delivering an innovative product or service to the key decision makers in the $70 billion travel plaza and truckstop industry to attend the show as an exhibitor or sponsor,” added Pamela Hayes, NATSO’s vice president, strategic partnerships. “For three days in February, vendors can meet the industry’s top executives and buyers all under one roof. That is money well spent.”

Registration is now open. Early-bird pricing is available until Dec. 12. NATSO members can register online or by contacting Kimberly Roberts. Suppliers interested in participating as an exhibitor or sponsor should contact Susan Taylor. For more information about The NATSO Show, visit www.natsoshow.org.
