The SEMA Wheel, Tire, Suspension & Brake Council (WTSBC) invites you to an evening of networking, recognition and industry celebration at its annual reception, taking place Tuesday, November 4, from 5:00 p.m.–6:15 p.m. inside the South Lower Hall, New Products Showcase, Booth #41271 at the 2025 SEMA Show. This signature event is one of the best opportunities of the year to connect with peers, discover new innovations and strengthen the relationships that drive business forward.
In an industry where who you know is just as valuable as what you know, networking can directly impact your bottom line. Conversations at this reception often spark new collaborations, help uncover emerging trends and provide the exposure needed to stay competitive in today’s marketplace.
“This is the one event you can’t afford to miss,” said Dan Ricehouse, Chair of the WTSBC Show Committee. “The WTSBC reception brings together the best minds, products and ideas in our industry—all in one room. Being here opens doors you can’t find anywhere else.”
The evening will feature a dynamic program that includes introductions to the WTSBC Select Committee, recognition of outgoing members and a review of key accomplishments that have strengthened the wheel, tire, suspension and brake segments this year.
A highlight of the reception is the awards presentation, where industry leaders will be honored with distinctions including Hall of Fame, Business of the Year, Person of the Year and Immediate Past Chair. With Wade Kawasaki presenting the Hall of Fame Award, this portion of the evening promises to be both memorable and inspiring.
Join us as we celebrate the people, products and progress shaping the future of our industry—all while building the connections that matter most.
