Where maintenance chiefs shop: TMC 2027 booths in Orlando's South Hall
TMC brings the people who write fleet maintenance specs to Orlando for four days of Study Groups and three dedicated exhibit windows. We build booths that show the component, the data and the spec it meets, ready before the Monday noon setup cutoff.
- Mar 8–11 · OCCC South Hall
- 5,500+ fleet peers, per TMC
- 2026 hall sold out
What makes TMC Annual Meeting different, and how we build for it
The TMC Annual Meeting is the American Trucking Associations' Technology & Maintenance Council at work: more than 100 technical sessions and Study Group meetings where fleet engineers and suppliers write the Recommended Practices the industry specs from. The Transportation Technology Exhibition opens around that program in three dedicated viewing windows, from Monday night's Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting to Wednesday's Walk-Around Breakfast. The 2026 exhibition in Nashville sold out with about 375 vendors on 350,000 square feet. For 2027 TMC returns to Orlando's Orange County Convention Center, its home through 2031.
Total cost of ownership, uptime and warranty data for a component they may spec across thousands of units, with an engineer who can talk RPs.
A tool, diagnostic or part they can touch, and proof it saves bay time, shown on the product rather than in a brochure.
A quiet corner to continue a technical argument from the morning session, with cutaways and spec sheets at hand.
Your team in Orlando
How Purple runs TMC 2027 at the OCCC
We build in Fishkill, NY or Las Vegas and ship to the North/South Building docks for South Hall A-B, timed to the vehicle appointments on March 4 and 5 and general move-in on March 6 and 7. Our project manager leads the build in the hall with whatever contract labor TMC and the OCCC call for, while venue crews hang the sign and drop power.
Inside TMC Annual Meeting 2027
TMC Annual Meeting rules that shape your booth
Vehicles enter South Hall A-B by appointment on March 4 and 5, 2027, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., before general move-in. We set the booth plan around the vehicle's slot and footprint.
On March 8 only displays of 400 sq. ft. or smaller may set up, from 8 a.m. to noon, and no setup is allowed after that. Our islands finish by the Sunday 8 p.m. close.
TMC's member booth rate requires one person at your company with a TMC primary membership or an ATA company membership. We price the build the same either way and flag the difference before you sign.
At the non-union OCCC, exhibitor employees may build with their own tools, while all rigging and electrical is OCCC work. We order the hanging sign and power drops from the venue.
Programs worth planning for
TMC's Study Groups and Task Forces develop new and revised Recommended Practices during the meeting, alongside more than 100 technical sessions.
Monday, March 8, 2027, 5:45 to 8:15 p.m.: the evening opening of the Transportation Technology Exhibition.
Meals served in the hall on Tuesday, March 9 (10:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m.) and Wednesday, March 10 (8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.), the final viewing period.
TMC is the maintenance engineers' meeting of U.S. trucking: pick it ahead of MATS when a fleet's spec writer is your buyer, and ahead of Work Truck Week when you sell to Class 8 fleets rather than upfitters. Every automotive and transportation show we build for, side by side →

02 Booths & pricing for TMC Annual Meeting 2027
What does it cost to exhibit at TMC 2027 in Orlando?
TMC is an association expo: inline booths and mid-size islands fill South Hall A-B, with tractors and trailers on larger spaces. Component and technology suppliers take inline space; truck and trailer makers take islands. We recommend a 10×20 inline with a cutaway and a data screen for a first TMC and a 20×20 island when a vehicle or a full axle comes along.
A cutaway component on a plinth, a screen with uptime or diagnostic data and a counter where an engineer reads a spec sheet.

The booth we would build for TMC Annual Meeting 2027
The spec-sheet booth for maintenance engineers
TMC visitors are the people who write a fleet's maintenance specs, and they arrive with plates in hand during walk-around meals. The booth puts a real component at waist height with its test data beside it, so an engineer can judge it in the time it takes to finish lunch.
Component plinth
A cutaway or full assembly on a lit plinth at the aisle, close enough to touch, with the failure mode it solves called out on the base.
Data screen
Uptime, cost-per-mile or diagnostic fault data from field units, shown as before-and-after, on one screen beside the hardware.
RP counter
A standing counter with the Recommended Practice numbers your product meets and a ledge wide enough for a breakfast plate.
Engineer corner
Two stools at the back for a Study Group member who wants to argue a test method for ten minutes.
The demo
Pull a live fault code from a diagnostic tool, show the repair your part prevents and the bay hours saved, then hand the engineer the part. Keep it under three minutes so it fits between a Walk-Around Luncheon plate and the next session.
The meetings
TMC's meetings happen in Study Groups and Task Forces outside hall hours. The booth catches the follow-up: the engineer who heard your product mentioned in a session and walks over in the next viewing window to see it.
Fewer road calls. More miles between shop visits.
Your team walks into a lit, stocked booth. You just show up.

Designing a TMC booth for South Hall A-B
1Talk in Recommended Practices
TMC attendees write the RPs your product is measured against. We print the RP numbers and test data your product meets on the counter graphics, so a Study Group member sees in one look that your team speaks their language.
2Three windows, three moods
The hall opens for an evening Grand Opening, a Tuesday Walk-Around Luncheon and a Wednesday Walk-Around Breakfast. We light the booth for the evening crowd and keep a clear counter for plates and coffee, since visitors arrive eating.
3Set up before Monday noon
Only booths of 400 square feet or smaller may set up Monday morning, and no setup is allowed after noon. We plan islands to finish by Sunday at 8 p.m., so nothing depends on the last half-day.
4Vehicles by appointment
Vehicles move into South Hall A-B by appointment only on Thursday and Friday, March 4 and 5. We build the booth around the vehicle's arrival slot and stage graphics and flooring for the all-exhibitor days that follow.

Where you could be at TMC Annual Meeting 2027
TMC 2027 uses one exhibit hall and the meeting rooms around it at the OCCC. These are the parts that shape a booth, from TMC's schedule and Purple's OCCC guide.
South Hall A-B (Level 1)
The Transportation Technology Exhibition hall in the North/South Building, with vehicle move-in by appointment March 4 and 5.
Our advice Ask for your dock and vehicle door with the appointment, since the North/South Building's docks are separate from the West Building's.
North/South Building meeting rooms
Where the technical sessions and Study Group meetings run while the hall is closed, per TMC's program.
Our advice Staff the booth so engineers can attend their Study Groups and return for the next viewing window.
OCCC rigging and electrical
All rigging and electrical work at the OCCC is done by the venue's own crews, per Purple's OCCC guide.
Our advice We order the hanging sign and power drops from the OCCC early, with the design approved.

TMC Annual Meeting exhibitor questions
TMC Annual Meeting 2027 questions exhibitors ask
When is the TMC Annual Meeting 2027?
March 8–11, 2027, Monday to Thursday, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, per TMC. The Transportation Technology Exhibition opens Monday evening at 5:45 p.m. and closes after the Wednesday breakfast at 12:30 p.m.
What are the TMC 2027 exhibit hall hours?
Monday, March 8, 5:45 to 8:15 p.m. (Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting); Tuesday, March 9, 10:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. (Walk-Around Luncheon); Wednesday, March 10, 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (Walk-Around Breakfast), per TMC's 2027 hall schedule.
Where is the TMC exhibition in the Orange County Convention Center?
South Hall A-B, Level 1, in the North/South Building, per TMC's 2027 exhibit schedule. That building has its own docks and hotels apart from the West Building, so freight and staff hotels should be booked for the south side.
How much does a booth at TMC cost?
TMC publishes its 2027 rates in the exhibitor prospectus and booth contract; member rates need one person with a TMC primary membership or an ATA company membership. Purple's side of the bill: $7,500 to $15,000 to rent a 10×20 frame dressed in your graphics, or $50,000 to $120,000 for a custom 20×20 island.
Can we still book a booth for TMC 2027?
Booth selection has been open to all exhibitors since October 10, 2026, after priority rounds for 2026 exhibitors and then TMC members. The floor plan and booth contract are on TMC's exhibitor page; the 2026 exhibition sold out.
When can vehicles move in at TMC 2027?
Thursday, March 4 and Friday, March 5, 2027, on an appointment you book in advance, during the 8-to-5 window. All other exhibitors move in Saturday and Sunday, and Monday morning is limited to booths of 400 square feet or smaller.
Is the OCCC a union building?
No. There are no union jurisdictions to book around at the OCCC, and company staff can assemble their own booth. The two exceptions are rigging and electrical, which only OCCC crews perform; Purple files as your EAC when you want contract labor.
Who attends the TMC Annual Meeting?
Fleet presidents and CEOs, senior maintenance and equipment executives, maintenance directors and fleet managers responsible for millions of pieces of equipment, per TMC. TMC invites them to join more than 5,500 peers.
What are the TMC 2027 exhibitor deadlines?
Hotel sub-block requests are due December 30, 2026; discounted hotel rates end February 5, 2027; and the exhibitor registration portal closes February 15, 2027 at 5 p.m. Eastern, per TMC.
Which hotels serve TMC 2027?
Eleven partner hotels near the OCCC, from the Hampton Inn International Drive at $212 to the Hilton Orlando at $321, booked through ConferenceDirect. Only registered attendees receive the booking link, per TMC's travel page.
Is TMC the same as the TMC Fall Meeting?
It is not. The Annual Meeting in Orlando carries the Transportation Technology Exhibition; the Fall Meeting and National Technician Skills Competition is a separate event in Pittsburgh, at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center from September 19 to 23, 2027, per TMC.
How is TMC different from the Mid-America Trucking Show?
TMC is a working meeting of fleet maintenance executives and engineers with an exhibition on the side; MATS is an open floor of 53,507 drivers, owner-operators and fleets in Louisville. Choose TMC when your buyer writes maintenance specs, and MATS when your buyer drives.
Where is TMC after 2027?
Orlando again: March 20–23, 2028, March 12–15, 2029, March 4–7, 2030 and March 10–13, 2031, all at the Orange County Convention Center, per TMC. A booth built for 2027 can be stored and reused in the same building.
Before you sign for TMC Annual Meeting
Five questions to ask any exhibit builder for TMC Annual Meeting:
- Can you finish our island by Sunday, March 7 at 8 p.m., since only booths of 400 square feet or less may set up Monday morning?
- Will you book our vehicle's March 4 or 5 appointment and plan flooring around it?
- Will you order the hanging sign and power drops from OCCC crews, who do all rigging and electrical there?
- Will you file as our EAC at the OCCC and bring contract labor for the parts our staff will not build?
- Can you store the booth for TMC 2028, back at the OCCC March 20–23?
What TMC Annual Meeting exhibitors ask us
The hall is open only a few hours a day. Will anyone see us? The 10.5 dedicated viewing hours are the point: TMC labels them dedicated viewing hours and serves a luncheon and a breakfast in the hall, so attendees come to the floor to eat and look. A booth that reads fast and has room to set down a plate wins those hours.
Our product is software. Does a booth at an engineers' meeting make sense? It does if the software touches maintenance: fault codes, work orders, tire or brake data. Show it on real hardware or a diagnostic tool, because TMC visitors trust what they can connect to a part.
We are not TMC members. Is it worth joining first? One person at your company with a TMC primary membership, or an ATA company membership, unlocks the member booth rate, per TMC. Compare that cost with the rate gap in the prospectus before you sign the contract.
