The SEMA (Specialty Equipment Manufacturer’s Association) Show is simply in our opinion and by most the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world. It’s doesn’t get larger and it doesn’t get more intense. The SEMA Show draws the industry’s brightest minds and hottest products to one place, the Las Vegas Convention Center each year.
For us in the media, the SEMA Show provides us the opportunity to showcase hundreds of special cars, thousands of new aftermarket parts, and rub elbows with the people who create them. The end result for our readers is that we have fascinating, fun and informative news to put out both during the show and for months after.
The Convention Center is ground zero for special events, product demonstrations, and automotive manufacturer debuts. Almost all of the major automakers are on hand with special cars , concepts and debuts of future products that add a lot of gravity to the show.
In 2010, the SEMA Show more than 50,000 domestic and international attendees from the automotive trades and media. The show floor is segmented into 12 sections, and a New Products Showcase featured nearly 1,500 newly introduced parts, tools and components.
And for 2011 all reports coming from SEMA indicate that the automotive aftermarket industry is bouncing back from the dark days of the past few years. There will be more new parts, more new exhibitors and more floor space than in years past. That’s great news.
While the show is not open to the public, we will be on hand all week long during the show reporting everything we see that’s relevant to our publication here with photos, videos, and news! So be sure to be here each day during the show from November 1-4.
