Trucking News, Updates, & Back Issues

The primary goal of the Mid-America Trucking Show has always been to bring the entire industry together for the largest and most comprehensive, face-to-face event in trucking. With this goal in mind, MATS 50th has been scheduled for March 24-26, 2022. These dates ensure the full support of our industry at an uncompromised, large-scale, in-person event that meets our shared goals and delivers the caliber of show that we have all come to expect from MATS.

At MATS 50th, we intend to set a new standard for trucking industry events. We are developing new in-person experiences that will further engage attendees and provide exhibitors more opportunities to directly connect with their audience. The MATS Experience will feature more education, exhibits, events, and entertainment than ever before. Currently in the works:

• Opening Night Celebration & Networking Event
• Expanded Education, Product Demos, and Speaking Opportunities
• Larger-than-Ever PKY Truck Beauty Championship
• More Outdoor Events and Entertainment
• Interactive MATS History Experiences

We are excited to have firm dates for the 50th Anniversary of MATS and look forward to working alongside our industry friends and family. Mark your calendars - March 24-26, 2022. We promise, it will be worth the wait.

Sincerely,

Toby Young, President
