The MPMC Media Trade Conference is a unique event that brings together editors, reporters and editorial teams from all over the world with manufacturers of racing and performance parts and accessories. Unlike a traditional trade show where exhibitors are focused on meeting with buyers and resellers, the Media Trade Conference is focused on media and results in manufacturers receiving quality media coverage in trade and consumer outlets, including print, online, video/television and radio/podcasts.

Let's work together. Share your thoughts or lend a hand.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to empower manufacturers and media professionals to thrive by providing a collective voice, specialized education, and the networking opportunities necessary to advance the motorsports industry.

Guidelines for Proper Usage of the SEMA Logo(s)

  1. SEMA encourages MPMC members to post the MPMC Member logo on their company website and use it on company-related materials such as letterhead, catalogs, business cards and advertisements.
  2. A MPMC member may not use the MPMC Logo to market a particular product, or affix the logo to a product or to product packaging.
  3. The MPMC Member logo may never be used by a MPMC member as a "stand-alone"; the logo must clearly say "Member" exactly as it is placed shown to the left.
  4. The MPMC Member logo may not, under any circumstances, be distorted in its display; the logo must be vertically positioned as originally intended (not tweaked, turned upside down, etc.).
  5. The MPMC Member logo may not be printed in any other color(s) than the original red, black and white scheme. If red is unattainable, then all black is permissible.

If you require a hi-res version of the logo, please email member@sema.org.
