If you haven’t ever heard of the SEMA Show well, there’s a lot to unpack. This industry-only trade show is organized annually to bring the automotive aftermarket industry together to inform, educate and push the limits. Yes, it’s an over-the-top car\/truck show, but it’s also so much more.<\/p>\n
For aftermarket companies, the SEMA Show is a chance to debut new products, work deals, and meet with a large network of shops in one central location. For shops\/industry professionals it’s a chance to learn about new products and the latest trends, and build relationships. For the builders, it’s a chance to show off their skills and creativity. The show is massive, filling most of the inside\/outside space at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Outside of the show itself, the meetings, and the parties, SEMA is at the heart of the automotive lifestyle, leading the way for innovation, technology, advocacy, and education.<\/p>\n
Over the course of 4-days this event draws in well over 100,000 industry professionals, builders, brand reps, and dealers, more than 2000 companies exhibit several thousand of the coolest vehicles of every make, purpose, and style are featured. Following the event, there’s always a large cruise-style parade from the convention center to an after-party called SEMA Ignited to cap off the festivities.<\/p>\n
