Picture the world's largest tow show inside a state-of-the-art convention center nestled in our country's most alluring and historic harbor, the site of the battle that inspired our national anthem. See the booms rising toward the ceiling across an indoor space equal to 10 football fields. 

AT’s imagination is connected to the tow boss' hopes and dreams and the Exposition has continued to grow over three decades to become the largest niche-truck show in the world. Many have called it the most creative trade show of any industry.

The Exhibit Hall inside the Baltimore Convention Center features 250 exhibitors; suppliers to everything towing, transport, road service and repair. AT Expo is a manufacturers' show featuring builders of wreckers, wheel-lifts and carriers, transport trailers and truck chassis. Every piece of equipment and tow accessory that exists is on display and for sale. Tow bosses who also own auto repair and auto body facilities will also find the "Garage District" on the floor displaying what's critical to these operations, from car and truck lifts to repair equipment.

The show takes at least two days to pass through. If you’re the kind who likes to talk and engage with the product and service experts in the booths, it takes the full three days.

 

 

TRAO SHOW

On behalf of the Towing & Recovery Association of Ohio (TRAO) www.trao.org , the Towing & Recovery Association of Kentucky www.trak-inc.com and the West Virginia Towing & Recovery Association www.wvtow.com , we appreciate the support of our members, volunteers, show sponsors, exhibitors and attendees in making the Midwest Regional Tow Show the largest tow show in the Midwest.

This event, referred to as the Family Towing Affair, is planned with attendees in mind — including families. Children are entertained on Friday and Saturday evenings, allowing parents to attend show events. The Women of TRAO hosts a luncheon featuring a “Safety Fashion Show” with new apparel from AW Direct. Male “models” are chosen from within our industry and represent towers, industry leaders and exhibitors who are willing to strut the runway while showcasing their unique personalities and attitudes.

Our annual golf outing is a huge success as well as the TIM class, North American training class, seminars and demos. If that isn’t enough, step inside the Dale Earnhardt Jr. racecar simulator and take it for a spin.

The Southern Tow Expo and Beach Bash is a wonderful combination of trade show, the best available training and business seminars, all while having a great time. We have attended many shows in this industry and have witnessed what was liked and disliked, successful and unsuccessful, for both the attendee and the exhibitors.

So next year, we've decided to put on a show designed for someone like you! The trade show has space for up to 100 indoor exhibitors and countless outside exhibitors, during the perfect time of year, at one of the most beautiful places on earth. The training and seminars are set up to be convenient to attend while not taking traffic off the show floor during expo hours. We will have a wide range of training from certifications opportunities, to how to market your business in today’s social media world. There will be a technology conference, and a conference on finance and insurance strategies to reduce overhead, and be better protected. There will be seminars from DJ Harrington as well as Dan Messina on better business strategies.

Now for the fun. There will be a deep sea fishing tournament on Wednesday morning with prizes for mystery fish, largest fish, smallest fish and most sea sick…yuck. The Beach Bash, which will be a full out, bonfire party on the beach with live music, kegs of beer and full bar... this will be on Thursday night and everyone is invited. Friday night, we will take over the World Famous Flora-Bama in style, we have rented out the back half for the night and will have live bands playing, food to munch on and the cocktails will be flowing. Transportation back to your hotel is arranged for you, so stay and have a great time.

This show is designed to help you improve your business, look at the newest innovations available, complete important training while having a great time at the beach. Bring your family, take a vacation, help your business and write it all off as a business expense.
