The SEMA Show serves as the epicenter of industry advancements.

This is a unique opportunity to witness firsthand the trends and technologies that are driving the future of the industry.
"Every year, the SEMA Show illustrates that our members are not just reacting to the future; they are building it together," said SEMA President and CEO Mike Spagnola. "Every initiative, every innovation, every victory we achieve is fueled by their passion, expertise, and commitment."
SEMA Show Transportation Around Las Vegas
Attendees have several transportation options available to them. SEMA Show management reminds Showgoers there is limited parking at the LVCC and encourages attendees to plan to ensure enough time to get to the LVCC and navigate the large SEMA Show campus.
