The SEMA Show New Products Showcase—one of the most sought-after attractions at the annual event—will be located on the bridge between the Central and South Halls at the west end of the Las Vegas Convention Center during the 2015 SEMA Show.
Occupying a key path between the two halls, the New Products Showcase will be easily accessible to Showgoers en route to either Central or South Hall. The New Products Showcase will also feature extended hours and will be accessible before and after the Show floor opens and closes.
To make it easy for visitors to connect with manufacturers of products included in the Showcase, buyers and media can use scanners to create a personalized list of products of particular interest. Information—including company name and booth location—will be included on the list based on what products are scanned.
Exhibitors may enter products into the Showcase using the form located at www.SEMAShow.com/esm. The first entry is free for all exhibitors, and there is also a Featured Product category to draw attention to products that do not qualify as “new.” To learn more, visit www.SEMAShow.com or contact sales@sema.org or 909-396-0289.

SEMA Show attendees with valid Show credentials will be granted free admission to this year’s SEMA Ignited—the official SEMA Show afterparty—where consumers will share in the excitement of the industry’s largest automotive gathering in the world.
SEMA Ignited takes place Friday, November 6, from 3:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m., just steps away from the Las Vegas Convention Center. On Friday evening, Showgoers will be able to walk over to the Gold Lot (across the street from the Las Vegas Convention Center), where they will find automotive demonstrations, celebrity appearances, industry icons, food, music and television filming all taking place amid thousands of consumers.
Vehicles from the 2015 SEMA Show will begin to parade out of the convention center at around 4:00 p.m. and make their way to a “village”—or themed area—at SEMA Ignited. Village themes include hot rods, trucks and sport compacts. Two stages will entertain crowds as production teams film various programs for nationwide TV.
Industry professionals with SEMA Show credentials who select the SEMA Ignited event on their applications can get into SEMA Ignited with their SEMA Show badges at no cost. Consumer tickets will be available soon for purchase at www.SEMAIgnited.com.
