Las Vegas, Nev., February 11-14

Everything you need to compete and lead in your market will be under one roof at The Rental Show at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev.

Discover 650 exhibitors with the latest products for even/party, light construction/general tool and heavy construction rental.

Learn from more than 70 hours of rental-focused seminar options, including pre-show workshops on February 10, covering specific business segments.

Connect with your industry peers at fun networking events like ARA Rocks the House at the House of Blues and the live and silent equipment auctions.

It’s the one show rental professionals have counted on for more than 50 years as a vital link to what’s new in the industry… and it’s the only trade show with so many resources dedicated to equipment rental. Simply put, it’s the one business edge you can’t afford to miss.
