For the fifth consecutive year, American Rental Association’s annual trade show has increased its ranking on the Tradeshow Week 200 annual list of top U.S. trade shows.
The Rental Show, owned by the Moline-based American Rental Association, moved up to No. 61 with its 2007 show held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. The 2006 ranking was No. 63.
More than 11,500 rental industry professionals attended the show in Atlanta, which drew rental personnel from nearly 30 countries, including the United States and Canada. Exhibit space was sold out for the fourth straight year — with 719 exhibiting companies.
“As the rental industry has continued to grow the past several years, The Rental Show has reflected that growth with an increased interest from attendees and exhibitors alike, especially for new products,” said Allison Box, American Rental Association’s vice president of association services.
The Rental Show’s ranking has increased on the Tradeshow Week 200 each year since 2003. That year’s Show in Anaheim, Calif., was No. 81, the 2004 Show in Atlanta was No. 77, the 2005 Show in Las Vegas was No. 75 and the 2006 Show in Orlando, Fla., was No. 63.
Tradeshow Week magazine tracks a variety of statistics on industry shows in the U.S. and Canada. The rankings are based on total net square footage of paid exhibit space, total number of contracted exhibitors and total professional attendance.
Next year, The Rental Show returns to Atlanta and the Georgia World Congress Center March 2-5.
