Currently with more than 100 first-time exhibitors, the 2010 SEMA
Show—which takes place Tuesday-Friday, November 2-5, 2010 in Las
Vegas—is a can't-miss opportunity to reach thousands of industry
professionals, display the latest new products and attend educational
seminars designed to help you improve the way you do business.
For the past several years, SEMA has been working to provide added
value to participation in the annual industry trade show in Las Vegas.
This past year, the association conducted a first-ever Enthusiast
Opinion Leader Research Program at the SEMA Show that was intended to
promote new products beyond the walls of the Las Vegas Convention
Center and provide meaningful feedback to both exhibitor and attendee
member companies.
As part of SEMA’s ongoing commitment to offer attendees unparalleled value, Show organizers have once again introduced a quick and easy way to get the latest airfare information for travel to this year’s SEMA Show.
The 2011 Honda CR-Z measuring session May 18 from 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.

has held back-to-back measuring sessions.
Exhibitors of the 2010 SEMA Show: Here is your final opportunity
to sign up for the first-ever SEMA Show Exhibitor Summit and get your
business up-to-speed with valuable information, techniques and skills
to guarantee that your SEMA Show experience is profitable and

The Tire Industry Association (TIA) and SEMA have come
together to create the Global Tire Expo (GTE) – Powered by TIA, which will be
a tire industry-only section of the SEMA Show, taking place November 2-5,
2010 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The new Expo will be open to
all segments of the tire industry, including automotive, commercial,
retreading, recycling and more.
Leading SEMA members, including AEM Performance Electronics, Eibach
Springs Inc. and Competition Cams Inc., have already signed on to
participate in SEMA's groundbreaking business-development conference
taking place in Beijing in September. The three-day event, entitled the
SEMA CIAPE China Business Development Conference, will include
one-on-one meetings with Chinese distributors who want to give China’s
burgeoning number of auto enthusiasts a taste of U.S. innovation. The
SEMA members, for their part, aim to find Chinese companies that can do
just that.
Manufacturers who have not yet applied to exhibit at the 2010 SEMA Show have until May 7, 2010, to take part in the Priority Booth Space Selection Process. The three-week process allows exhibitors an opportunity to select the actual location of their SEMA Show booth, as well as learn more about ways they can increase exposure and/or save money.
