Media participating in the 2016 Motorsports Parts Manufacturers Council (MPMC) Media Trade Conference will be able to sit down and interview 100 manufacturers of automotive parts and accessories, including nearly 30 companies that did not exhibit at the previous conference, by registering at www.sema.org/mtcreg.
The annual event gives editors and reporters a unique opportunity to connect with key executives from manufacturing companies. Unlike traditional trade shows where manufacturers are focused on connecting with buyers, the MPMC Media Trade Conference is the ideal place for journalists to sit down, ask questions, and develop relationships with manufacturers that often lead to quality content for magazines, newspapers, blogs, and even radio, television and podcasts.
While many reporters attend the annual event to connect with companies that they have built strong, lasting relationships with, this year’s conference taking place January 26–28, 2016, at the Embassy Suites Orange County Airport North in Santa Ana, California, provides media participants with a chance to connect with companies that are new to the MPMC event, including:
- ACCEL Performance Group

- BMR Suspension
- BOOSTane
- Chris Alston's Chassisworks
