Below are tools and resources available exclusively to help exhibitors obtain greater media coverage:

All feature vehicles are automatically included in the mobile app (apply for a feature vehicle space at www.semashow.com/featurevehicle) Booth vehicle forms must be submitted in advance for the vehicle to be include in the mobile app. (booth vehicle forms are at www.semashow.com/boothvehicle)
