MATS will run March 26 through 28 at the Kentucky Exposition Center. Registration stays free until the end of February, making it easy for drivers to claim a spot early.

The contest is already underway and runs through Feb. 27. Each week, MATS will pick winners and announce them on its social media pages. Three grand prize winners will be named on Feb. 27. According to the show, this is meant to keep the community engaged and help put a little money back in drivers’ pockets.

Toby Young, president of MATS, explained the idea behind the promotion. “We designed the ‘Share & Win’ contest to be a fun, social way for our community to connect and rally around the show. It’s a great opportunity for attendees to share their excitement and see who else is planning to be there. But most importantly, it’s our way of helping offset the costs of attendance by giving away cash prizes, hotel stays, and VIP access. We want to welcome everyone back to Louisville for MATS 2026.”

Drivers who participate will be in the running for several prizes, including six nights of free hotel stays, twenty-eight hundred dollars in cash awards, VIP access for the 2026 show, and parking passes that cover the entire event.

To qualify, drivers need to register between Dec. 1 and Feb. 27, post the “I’m attending” graphic, and share the weekly post. Full contest rules and the downloadable graphic can be found at truckingshow.com/share.
