Work Truck Week Indianapolis Housing Guide
Work Truck Week brings the commercial vehicle industry to downtown Indianapolis for several days of exhibits, education, networking, product discovery, business meetings, and industry connection.
For fleet professionals, manufacturers, upfitters, dealers, engineers, suppliers, and exhibitor teams, this is a working trip. Your lodging needs to do more than provide a place to sleep. It should help your team stay organized, get to the Indiana Convention Center easily, coordinate meals, and have a comfortable place to regroup after long days on the show floor.
The Birdhouse on Meridian offers group-friendly lodging in downtown Indianapolis near the Indiana Convention Center, Lucas Oil Stadium, restaurants, and major event destinations. For Work Truck Week attendees traveling with a team, it can function as a private downtown home base with more space than a standard hotel room.
About Work Truck Week
Work Truck Week is hosted by NTEA – The Work Truck Association and is one of the leading annual events for the commercial vehicle industry.
The 2027 event is scheduled for March 9–12 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. The event brings together the people who design, build, use, and maintain commercial vehicles and equipment, including manufacturers, fleet professionals, suppliers, upfitters, engineers, and industry partners.
Work Truck Week is especially valuable for attendees who want to discover new vehicles and equipment, learn about industry trends, connect with OEMs, meet vendors, and build business relationships.
Why Downtown Lodging Matters for Work Truck Week
Trade show weeks can be intense. Attendees may spend hours walking the show floor, meeting with suppliers, attending sessions, comparing equipment, networking, and joining business dinners after the event day ends.
Staying downtown can help your team:
Get to the Indiana Convention Center more easily

Coordinate exhibitor and attendee schedules
Stay close to downtown restaurants
Return to the rental between show hours and evening plans
