Want to Save Money?

Representatives from SEMA’s four member benefit partners will be at the SEMA Show to demonstrate how they can help your company save money. Each SEMA member benefit partner will have a display on the Show floor as well as representation in the SEMA Association Center. The Association Center will be in its usual location in the Grand Lobby of the Las Vegas Convention Center, between the North and Central Halls. SEMA members will have the opportunity to discuss freight savings, business insurance solutions, a consumer credit-card program and credit-card payment processing services. The following is a list of the special incentives being offered by SEMA’s member benefit partners to SEMA members at this year’s SEMA Show:*

(*Some restrictions apply. Please visit the SEMA Association Center for details. **All costs waived during the three months except actual usage charges related to discount fees associated to the promotional financing program.)

If your company is not already taking advantage of one or more of these programs, we encourage you to stop by the Association Center to learn more about how they can help your business.
