More detailed information about this show will be added soon.
Education topics include maximizing profits, marketing strategies, how to obtain permits, tips for more advanced operators, and general tips for operators at every stage of their business journey. The expo floor spans three business categories: Food Services (from commissaries to food providers), Truck Services (from truck manufacturers to wraps), and Business Services (from POS systems to websites).
Tickets can be purchased online in advance or on site, though discount/promo codes cannot be applied to on-site purchases. Two ticket types are offered for the Austin show:
Only the Tuesday + Wednesday ticket option allows entry on both days. Children under the age of 16 are free to attend the event. Attendees pick up their tickets at the registration desk during the event. Tickets are sold through the organizer's platform at events.american-tradeshow.com.
The 2026 Food Truck Owners Expo takes place August 4-5, 2026, at the Palmer Events Center, 900 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, TX 78704.
The event is designed for food truck and mobile food vendor owners and operators, food truck employees, mobile cart operators, brick-and-mortar restaurants looking to add a mobile element, and anyone planning to open their first food truck business.
A Tuesday and Wednesday pass covering education, expo, and networking for both days is $120, while a Wednesday-only pass with expo and education is $80. Tickets can be bought online in advance or on site, though discount codes cannot be used for on-site purchases. Children under 16 attend free.
No. FTO Expo is a business conference for food truck professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs focused on education, sourcing suppliers, and networking rather than serving food, though many exhibitors sell products on site. You do not need to bring your truck or trailer.
Attendee parking at the Palmer Events Center is $12. FTO Expo has arranged discounted rates at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Downtown Austin, the Hyatt Regency Austin, and The Line Austin, all in the downtown Austin area near the venue.
