ARA Show 2021 postponed

The American Rental Association (ARA) has postponed next year’s annual trade show and cancelled the event in 2022.

The show, which was due to be held in New Orleans on 1st February 2021, will now be held on 18th-20th October in Las Vegas. Although the 2022 has been cancelled, the 2023 event remains on the schedule for 12th-15th February in Orlando, Florida.

ARA chief executive Tony Conant said: “The safety and vitality of the rental community is our top priority. We consulted with our members, monitored all the leading sources of health information, and worked closely with convention centre partners, the city of New Orleans, and many others in an effort to ensure a clean, safe and essential show in February. When it became clear that the pandemic would not allow us to safely host the type of event our rental community expects, we adapted — just as our industry has throughout a resilient 2020.”

“We are all disappointed that we are unable to get together in February, but we are excited about the planned return to Las Vegas. ARA is committed to providing a 2021 event with the education, products, networking, and technology our members need to position themselves for the future. The all-around value the show provides will be more important than ever.”
