Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week 2026 Sets Sights on the Future with “Eyes on the Road” Theme
Following a successful 2025 gathering that attracted nearly 3,000 industry professionals, Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW)—North America’s premier heavy-duty aftermarket event—has officially announced details for its 2026 conference. The upcoming event will center on the theme “Eyes on the Road,” focusing on how aftermarket companies can leverage analytics, AI, and advanced forecasting tools to navigate market volatility and refine business strategy.
Leadership and Strategic Vision
The 2026 conference will be led by supplier co-chair Matt Wolfe, President of the Americas at SAF-HOLLAND, and distributor co-chair Nick Seidel, Vice President of Action Truck Parts.
“Navigating uncertainty requires more than instinct; it requires insight,” stated Wolfe. “HDAW assembles the key decision-makers and critical data under one roof, providing companies with the clarity and confidence needed to move forward.”
Unrivaled Business Opportunities
Organized by nine leading industry groups, HDAW 2026 will once again facilitate strategic connections through its signature One-on-One Business Meetings and an extensive Product Expo featuring the latest tools and technologies.
“The value of HDAW lies in its unparalleled efficiency and strategic focus,” added Seidel. “The face-to-face meetings and insights gained here enable you to solve problems and capitalize on opportunities at a pace unmatched anywhere else in the industry.”
