American Towman ShowPlace – Las Vegas Scores Solid Turnout

The recently concluded American Towman ShowPlace – Las Vegas was a big hit as attendees and exhibitors filled the South Point Hotel Exhibit Hall & Arena.

Towing and emergency road service industry professionals comprised of more than 80% of the 5,000 attendees and suppliers who flocked to the South Point Resort Hotel Exhibit Hall & Arena for the 13th edition of the show.

A total of 4,087 Tow Bosses viewed products and services from 175 vendors – a show record for exhibiting companies in addition to a record sales staff of 855 company representatives.

“It is testimony to the solid reputation the show has amongst its participants, especially from the West Coast,” said Henri “Doc” Calitri, president of A.T. Expo Corp., the show producer. “California led all states in being represented with 48% of the audience. We have also seen a growth of attendees traveling to Las Vegas from all points of the country as well as international travelers from as far away as Australia and Japan.”

AT ShowPlace is one of the towing industry’s premier trade events, second only to the American Towman Exposition in Baltimore, the world’s largest towing show held every third week in November.

The show was highlighted by the USA Wrecker Pageant which saw tow trucks compete for trophies in a variety of categories that came from as far away as Alaska and North Dakota.  Welcome Night festivities included a recovery demonstration by WreckMaster, a gala buffet attended by almost 400 persons, and an awards dinner hosted by the California Tow Truck Association (CTTA) that featured entertainment by the renowned Felix and Fingers dueling pianos.

AT ShowPlace is a testimony to the strength of American Towman Magazine which is the prime sponsor of the event and the industry’s leading monthly trade publication.

“We are already planning on making the 2027 American Towman ShowPlace – Las Vegas even bigger and better than ever. Stay tuned for those announcements,” said Calitri.

Dates for the 2027 show are April 22 & 23 at the South Point Hotel Exhibit Hall & Arena.
