Show Daily
Welcome to the The Rental Rally Tradeshow Daily, which will be delivered to your inbox every morning of CRA’s 2017 Rental Rally Tradeshow, bringing you the daily buzz directly from Las Vegas.
 
Beginning on Jan. 30, 2017, keep an eye out for your copy - to arrive around 6 a.m. - that will keep you informed of conference highlights, seminar sessions, happenings in the Exhibit Hall and other exclusive insider information.
 
The event will be held this year at the South Point Hotel and Casino—a great venue choice with the convenience of having the convention center and hotel on the same property. There will be two exciting days of exhibits, with companies displaying their equipment, products and services. This venue provides twice the floor space as we had here in 2015, and the show floor is already sold out!
 
Registration rates are $85 per person or $295 per company.* Sign up today!

*Optional events: Seminars, Opening Cocktail Party, Annual Dinner/Awards Ceremoney and AWP Operator Training Certification Class are not included in the registration fee.
