The Rental Show 2010

ARA's annual convention, The Rental Show, is the largest rental trade show in the world. The Rental Show is a "buying" trade show where transactions take place on the floor, with a concentrated and industry-specific audience. Nearly 700 exhibitors attend the show, which is annually ranked among the top 100 shows by Tradeshow Week magazine. The Rental Show will be held Feb. 7-10, 2010 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.

ARA offers numerous year-round services tailored to fit the needs of ARA membership. These services, which range from a national advertising campaign to hands-on training workshops for rental professionals, promote the success of ARA members and advance the growth of the rental industry.

ARA's office in Washington, D.C., focuses on legislation and regulation at the federal level for the benefit of the rental industry. Each spring, the National Legislative Caucus brings ARA General Members and Associate Members to Washington to learn more about the legislative process and meet one-on-one with members of Congress about issues of importance to rental. The association's political action committee, ARAPAC, is funded by contributions from individual ARA members and provides financial support to candidates for federal office.
