By Jennifer Pellersels, Generation Next Chair, Altec Industries

This originally appeared as a guest editorial in February NTEA News.

Over the 10 years I have attended  The Work Truck Show® , I continue to look forward to each new chance to learn about the latest equipment technology, take cutting-edge training courses and meet representatives from exhibiting companies.

Work Truck Week 2019 is scheduled March 6–8, in Indianapolis, Indiana. Educational sessions,  Fleet Technical Congress ,  Green Truck Summit , and  Manufacturer and Distributor Innovation Conference  begin March 5, and the  exhibit hall  is open March 6–8.

If you or someone you know is new to the work truck industry and would like to meet other new professionals, consider Generation Next. To learn more, visit  ntea.com/generationnext  or take advantage of any of these opportunities at The Work Truck Show.
