The American Rental Association’s (ARA) annual trade show is a can’t miss event for those looking to discover what’s next in rental. The trade show has a few twists in store with a shift to a mid-week schedule in 2025 and the return of Future of Equipment Rental. The schedule kicks off with Future of Equipment Rental on Tuesday, January 28; a full day of education sessions planned for Wednesday, January 29; and a three-day trade show will take place from Thursday, January 30 to Saturday, February 1.
“We are excited to introduce a change in schedule for The ARA Show 2025 that will better accommodate our members and prospective members as they plan for a successful year ahead,” says Christine Hammes, vice president of Association Services and Events. “The ARA Show continues to raise the bar on expectations each year, providing an unmatched combination of education sessions, networking opportunities and a trade show that showcases the latest and greatest products and services for rental businesses.”
Future of Equipment Rental — a full-day education and networking workshop for those in equipment rental — will be held on January 28. After a successful debut in 2023, the workshop returns with speakers and sessions focused on new technology and emerging trends for any size rental business. Future of Equipment Rental takes place one day before the start of The ARA Show and requires a separate registration fee.
The ARA Show 2025 officially kicks off with a full day of education on Wednesday, January 29. The mid-week date is a change from the traditional schedule but will continue to offer exceptional sessions focusing on a variety of relevant topics for rental professionals at every level.
