Trade Show

Why our members love ARA

Check out what members find most beneficial about belonging to ARA.

 

The education, the opportunity to connect with the vendors, and most of all the networking opportunities, make The ARA Show the most critical event I attend yearly. We have used countless ARA products and services over the years - I don't see why anyone wouldn't belong if they are in the equipment and event rental industry!

All the leadership training from ARA has allowed me to grow my business. All the networking has allowed me to foster friendships that I lean on with work related questions. I love the rental community and the ARA YPN was the icebreaker I needed to get even more involved in the industry I love.

Everyone always says that the best part of the rental industry is how collaborative it is and how much you learn from interacting with industry peers. I want to support the ARA and the industry, and because of my membership, the conversations I get to have make me and my company smarter about what we provide to our customers.

Point of Rental Software
 

The most beneficial part of being involved with the ARA is the comradery that comes with every member-to-member interaction with people that have similar experiences and goals. It is so nice to have a network of like-minded people that I can bounce ideas off of and turn to for advice.
