Friday, September 27 – In celebration of NUIAS’ 50th year, SEMA President and CEO Chris Kersting will join a VIP panel, which includes a keynote from James (Jim) Lentz, CEO of Toyota North America, to discuss the past, present and future of the automotive industry.

Following this session, SEMA will introduce the first installment of its regional Small Business Series.
