01 Purple at UMA Motorcoach EXPO 2027
The Bus Show rolls in: UMA Motorcoach EXPO 2027 booths in San Antonio
UMA's Motorcoach EXPO, The Bus Show, brings private coach, tour and charter operators to the Henry B. González Convention Center in January 2027. We build booths that sit well beside a parked coach and ship them before the holidays, so they are ready for a mid-January move-in.
- Jan 17–20 · San Antonio
- 1,200+ attendees
- 80% owners and execs
What makes UMA Motorcoach EXPO different, and how we build for it
The UMA Motorcoach EXPO, known in the industry as The Bus Show, is the United Motorcoach Association's yearly gathering of private coach, tour and charter operators, and it changes host city from year to year; San Antonio last hosted in 2018. For 2027 it returns to San Antonio, January 17–20, with coaches driven into Hall 2 on Sunday morning and the floor opening with a Monday Sneak Preview. UMA's International Driver Competition, the Maintenance Interchange and Maintenance Competition, a State Association Summit and the Awards Gala with the UMA Vision Awards run around the hall. UMA says 80% of its 1,200+ attendees are owners, operators and executives, so booths talk to the people who sign for coaches.
A walk-through of the coach or the product with total cost, financing and service support explained, and time to sit and talk.
Parts, lifts, HVAC and diagnostic products they can handle, with someone who can answer a shop question in detail.

Your team in San Antonio
How Purple runs UMA Motorcoach EXPO 2027
San Antonio booths are built in Las Vegas or Fishkill, NY, finished before the December holidays and shipped to arrive for the January 17 move-in. A Purple project manager waits for the coach to park, then sets the booth around it with the labor the show requires, ready for the Monday Sneak Preview.
New at UMA Motorcoach EXPO 2027
- Show Me demo stage
A new demonstration stage in the hall for vendors paid in full, which gives a small booth a stage moment without a bigger space. source
- New food placement for traffic
UMA is moving food service on the floor to improve traffic flow, which changes which aisles see lunch and brunch crowds. source
- Enhanced app and lead retrieval
Lead retrieval and the event app return in an enhanced version, so plan to scan badges rather than collect cards. source
Inside UMA Motorcoach EXPO 2027
UMA Motorcoach EXPO rules that shape your booth
Coaches move in Sunday, January 17 from 8 to 10 a.m., before other exhibitors start at 10 a.m. We place the booth structure after the coach is parked so nothing blocks its doors.
UMA's new Show Me demo stage is available only to vendors paid in full. We prepare a portable demo kit so you can use your slot without stripping the booth.
Complimentary exhibitor registrations follow UMA's size table, from 2 for small booths to 16 for members above 4,800 sq ft. We size the booth staffing plan to the registrations you receive.
Supplier companies that do not exhibit may register only two people, at one rate with no day passes. Suppliers who want a full sales team on the floor buy a booth.
Programs worth planning for
A written exam and driving course that tests motorcoach drivers' skill and safety; the 2027 competition runs Tuesday morning, January 19.
The Interchange meets Monday, January 18, and the Maintenance Competition runs Tuesday morning at Booth #963 in the hall.
Tuesday evening, January 19, in the Stars at Night Ballroom: the UMA Vision Awards, Environmental Leadership Award and other industry honors.
New for 2027: a demonstration stage in the exhibit hall, available to vendors paid in full.
UMA Motorcoach EXPO is the private motorcoach industry's Bus Show; choose it over the STN EXPO shows when your buyers run charter, tour and coach companies rather than school bus fleets. Line up UMA Motorcoach EXPO against every automotive and transportation show we build for →
02 Booths & pricing for UMA Motorcoach EXPO 2027
How much is a booth at UMA Motorcoach EXPO 2027?

The booth we would build for UMA Motorcoach EXPO 2027
The coach-side sales lounge
UMA EXPO buyers are mostly owners and executives, and the hall is open only about ten hours. This booth puts a seated lounge right beside the coach door, so an operator steps off the coach and sits down to talk cost, financing and delivery.
Coach entry
The coach parked with its door to the aisle, a short lit carpet runner to the step and a sign naming the model's seating and range.
Operator lounge
Four chairs and a low table beside the coach with a screen for specs, cost per mile and financing scenarios.
Parts and service wall
A low wall with the parts, warranty and service network map, for the maintenance manager walking with the owner.
Demo kit
A rolling stand with a screen and product sample that moves to the Show Me stage for your slot and back.
The demo
Walk the operator through the coach in five minutes: entry and accessibility, driver's station, seating and onboard technology, then sit down to the operating-cost figures on the lounge screen.
The meetings
UMA has no booked-meeting system, but its schedule leaves mornings for sessions and evenings for the Welcome Celebration and Awards Gala. Invite owners to the lounge during the Monday Sneak Preview, before Tuesday's lunch crowd.
More seats sold. Fewer miles lost to the shop.
Your team walks into a lit, stocked UMA Motorcoach EXPO booth. You just show up.

UMA EXPO booths that turn coach walk-throughs into orders
Case study · KLEEMANN
KLEEMANN at an industrial technology exhibition
KLEEMANN guided visitors through large, technical equipment from first step to last, which is how a coach builder's booth has to walk an operator from the coach door to the sales table at UMA EXPO.
Read the KLEEMANN case study All case studies →“Purple Exhibits made us look good. The booth was one of the nicest displays in our section of the convention center and generated a lot of positive comments from both customers and industry peers. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond made a huge difference.”

04 Designing for motorcoach builders, coach parts, onboard technology and operator service brands at UMA Motorcoach EXPO
Designing a UMA Motorcoach EXPO booth around a coach
1Ship before the holidays
Coaches move in on Sunday, January 17, and exhibitors set that day and Monday morning. Working back from mid-January means design approval in November and freight leaving before the December holidays, so we schedule production to finish early.
2Frame the coach, don't hide it
A coach on the floor is the biggest thing in the hall. We keep booth structures low around it, light the entry door and the seating, and place a counter where an operator can step off the coach and talk numbers.
Use the Show Me demo stage
UMA adds a Show Me demo stage for 2027, open to vendors paid in full. We build a portable demo kit, a screen and product on a rolling stand, that moves from the booth to the stage and back.
Plan for short hall hours
The hall is open about ten hours across three days: a two-hour Monday preview, Tuesday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. with lunch on the floor, and Wednesday morning with brunch. We design for quick conversations and a clear way to book a follow-up call.
Concept rendering
Every UMA Motorcoach EXPO proposal includes a rendering like this
The 3D view shows layout, graphics, lighting and product positions before we cut a panel, and we revise it until the UMA Motorcoach EXPO booth is right. Shown: a Purple concept for CalligoTech.

Where you could be at UMA Motorcoach EXPO 2027
UMA EXPO 2027 uses Hall 2 of the Henry B. González Convention Center, with sessions in the 300-level meeting rooms and the Stars at Night Ballroom, per UMA's schedule and Purple's venue guide.
Hall 2
The 2027 exhibit hall; Purple's Henry B. González notes put the ceilings at 35 feet across the connected halls.
Our advice Coaches fit easily under this ceiling; hanging signs over a coach need planning with the coach's height.
Stars at Night Ballroom
Host of the UMA General Session and the Awards Gala; Purple's venue notes call it the biggest ballroom in Texas.
Our advice Gala sponsors can carry booth graphics into the ballroom the same night.
Booth #963
Site of the UMA Maintenance Competition on Tuesday morning and a Wednesday education session, per the 2027 schedule.
Our advice Maintenance suppliers near that booth catch technicians coming off the competition.
05 Henry B. González Convention Center · San Antonio
UMA EXPO 2027 coach move-in, freight and Henry B. González rules
The Henry B. González Convention Center offers five connected halls and a 35-foot clear height, according to Purple's venue notes, and its loading docks are on the HemisFair side, away from the River Walk. Texas is right-to-work, so exhibitor staff may build their own booth with hand tools, while material handling runs through the show's designated contractor and electrical, rigging and internet stay with the center or its providers. UMA has not published its 2027 general contractor or freight deadlines, so those are not confirmed yet. Purple builds in Las Vegas or Fishkill, NY, ships ahead of the holidays, and our project manager runs the Sunday and Monday install with the labor the show requires.
Hall rules, drayage estimates and freight deadlines for the building that hosts UMA Motorcoach EXPO are in our Henry B. González Convention Center exhibitor guide.
What Purple handles
- Low booths that frame a coach on display
- Portable demo kits for UMA's new Show Me stage
- Holiday-proof production and freight schedules
- Graphics for UMA sponsorships and the Awards Gala
- Freight from our Las Vegas or Fishkill, NY shop
- Storage between EXPO years

How much is a booth at UMA Motorcoach EXPO 2027?
$3,200 for a 10×10 at the member early rate, $3,500 member late and $4,500 non-member. A 10×20 inline runs $6,400 to $8,000 and a 10×20 end cap $6,900 to $8,500. Other sizes are priced by EXPO sales.

How many people attend UMA Motorcoach EXPO?
1,200+ attendees, 80% of them owners, operators and executives, with 100+ exhibitors, per UMA's 2027 prospectus. In UMA's 2026 survey, 56% of attendees said a purchase was made or influenced by attending.
When is move-in at UMA Motorcoach EXPO 2027?
Coaches roll in Sunday, January 17 between 8 and 10 a.m. Everyone else sets up from 10 that Sunday morning until 5 p.m., and again Monday from 8 until 2 in the afternoon. Teardown begins at noon on Wednesday, January 20.

What events run alongside the UMA EXPO hall?
The UMA Welcome Celebration, the International Driver Competition, the Maintenance Interchange and Maintenance Competition, education sessions, a State Association Summit and the Awards Gala with the UMA Vision Awards.
Is UMA EXPO worth it for a parts supplier?
For motorcoach parts, UMA's numbers favor it: 80% of attendees are owners, operators and executives, and maintenance professionals attend the Maintenance Interchange. A 10×20 inline puts you in front of them without a coach on display.
Before you sign for UMA Motorcoach EXPO
Ask any UMA Motorcoach EXPO exhibit builder these five questions:
- Can you finish production before the December holidays and hold the booth until the January 17 move-in?
- How will you place our booth around a coach that moves in Sunday from 8 to 10 a.m.?
- Can you build a portable demo kit for UMA's Show Me stage?
- Do you know the Henry B. González docks on the HemisFair side and the convention center's exclusive services?
- Who from your company runs the install on Sunday and Monday, and with what labor?
What UMA Motorcoach EXPO exhibitors ask us
January is tight after the holidays. Can a custom booth be ready? Yes, if the design is approved in November and production finishes before the holidays. Freight then waits for the mid-January move-in, so the holiday break costs nothing.
We are a small supplier. Is a 10×20 enough next to coaches? It is, if it is lit and clear: most visitors are owners and executives with short hall hours, and a focused booth with a screen and one product reads well beside a coach.
The show moves city every year. Is a custom build wasted? No. A modular booth travels to the next EXPO city, 2028 on February 12–15 with the city still to be announced, and to other bus and coach shows in between.
