  new products
  Thousands of qualified buyers will see your products on display at the SEMA Show's Ideas Alive: Featuring the New Products Showcase.

The deadline to submit a product for the SEMA Show New Products Showcase and receive a discounted price is October 7. While the first product-category submission is still free after October 7, each additional product category submitted is $150. Entries submitted onsite are accepted based on space availability.

The New Products Showcase is located in the east end of the Upper South Hall, next to the Truck, SUV & Off-Road and Powersports & Utility Vehicles sections, and has been themed Ideas Alive: Featuring the New Products Showcase. Located adjacent to Ideas Alive is the "Featured Products" area, which provides an additional opportunity for product exposure regardless of whether a product is "new."

Exhibitors may enter products in either area, though, only the first entry is free. While Featured Products are not eligible for judging, they still benefit from concentrated buyer and media attention creating a terrific opportunity to promote your company in the highly trafficked Ideas Alive section of the Show.

Learning what’s new and making contacts for future business remain the primary reasons that buyers and media attend the SEMA Show. Ideas Alive: Featuring the New Products Showcase is a leading destination on both counts. Ideas Alive will be 25,000-sq.-ft. of activity from 8:00 a.m. to the hall's close every day of the Show. Electronic scanners are provided to make it easy for buyers and media to capture product information and have it conveniently e-mailed to them or printed right there at the Show. 

All new products will also be included in SEMA's annual New Products Awards competition recognizing the advancement and innovation of the industry's latest offerings. Awards from each category are presented at the very popular New Products Breakfast, to be held Tuesday, November 1, from 7:30 a.m.–8:45 a.m. at the Las Vegas Hilton.

Register now for the New Products Showcase.
