Part of the SEMA Leadership Days, the Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser includes the induction of the newest class of the SEMA Hall of Fame.

SEMA Leadership Days will be held this year at the Sheraton Fairplex Conference Center in Pomona, California, and will conclude Friday, July 27, with the SEMA Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser.

Serving as the industry’s premier celebration, the annual event's highlight is the Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser—emceed by the legendary Dave McClelland—in which  attendees have an opportunity to mingle with their peers during a cocktail hour and sit-down dinner. In addition, SEMA’s newly elected Board of Directors are sworn in and the newest class of industry icons are officially inducted into the trade association’s prestigious Hall of Fame. Check out coverage of the 2011 SEMA Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser.

Other events include the Business Technology Symposium and the popular charity SEMA Pinewood Drag Races, which benefit the children of Childhelp and Victory Junction Camp.

Don't miss out on the HRIA Builders Race, where some of the country’s best hot-rod builders craft a one-of-a-kind miniature hot rod in the style of a pinewood race car and race them against each other before auctioning them off on eBay after the SEMA Show.
