It’s not too late!
Plan and create personalized schedules for the 2016 SEMA Show by using the event’s official mobile app. Available at no cost at app stores and www.SEMAShow.com/app, the app’s updated design features a suite of tools that make on-site navigation and agenda creation quick and simple.
In addition to confirming appointments, scheduling meetings and mapping out exhibitors, the app includes links to the Show’s essential info—a list of Show hours, details on ground transportation, maps of the Show grounds and halls, a list of special events with times and locations, a schedule of daily celebrity appearances and feeds from the official SEMA Show social media accounts.
Research the Floorplan and New Business (From October 13, 2016)
With less than three weeks until the opening of the 2016 SEMA Show, attendees are encouraged to use the SEMA Show floorplan to get acquainted with this year’s layout and to research new exhibitors.
The homepage features the Show Locations Map, highlighting the Show’s sections and the outside layout of the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC). Clicking on any of the halls will bring up a large map of the layout, showing the companies and booth numbers within the hall. The drop-down menu in the upper right-hand corner provides convenient links to areas throughout the Show, including the LVCC’s hall layouts, the Performance Pavilion and all three Silver Lots.
Buyers can use the search tool to locate companies by product keywords. As an example, a search for the term “exhaust” will produce a list of companies offering exhaust-related products, a button graphic with the number of those exhibitors per hall, and their locations on the floorplan. To navigate deeper, buyers can click on any of the buttons to bring up a larger version of the map, and the specific location and booth number for each company.
