 SEMA Show registration is now open. | |
Registration is now open for the 2013 SEMA Show, Tuesday–Friday, November 5–8, Las Vegas. Attendees, media and exhibitors are invited to register for the annual Show online at www.SEMAShow.com/register.
“Preregistering online and obtaining approval well in advance of the Show is the most efficient and most economical way to obtain credentials to the SEMA Show,” said Peter MacGillivray, SEMA vice president of communications and events. “In addition to paying a lower cost, attendees are able to receive their badges in the mail before the SEMA Show so that they can hit the Show floor running when they arrive.”
In addition to SEMA Show registration opening for 2013, SEMA Show management has launched a new webpage, "Why You Should Attend," which outlines the business and buying opportunities available to attendees through the specialty-equipment industry's most valuable trade show.
The page features an overview of the SEMA Show floorplan with access to each of the Show's 12 sections; videos of company testimonies and photos of exhibitors in action on the Show floor; a list of the 10 things that all buyers should do when they attend the Show; and the travel and housing deals available through the SEMA Show Official Hotel Program.
