IDA Convention and Trade Show 2026

The 2026 event takes place at The Westin San Diego Bayview in San Diego, California.

The organizer lists independent heavy equipment aftermarket manufacturers, distributors, rebuilders, service providers, retailers, and brokers.

It is most useful for distributors, rebuilders, manufacturers and brokers in the independent heavy equipment aftermarket who want to meet buyers and suppliers in one trade association setting, since the IDA has served that aftermarket for more than 68 years and its membership spans all those roles. Companies outside the heavy equipment aftermarket, or those wanting a large speaker-driven program, would get less, as the listed facts show only one named speaker and one named sponsor.

Attendees at heavy equipment aftermarket conventions usually wear business casual, such as collared shirts and slacks, with a blazer for evening functions. San Diego in late October is mild, so light layers are enough for a hotel venue on the bay.
