SEMA Show Education is now accepting applications for industry professionals interested in hosting a seminar during the 2019 SEMA Show. Of particular interest to the industry are speakers with experience in advanced vehicle technology, technical training and installation, small business best practices, digital marketing and social media activation, industry disruptions and solutions, diversity in the automotive industry, and brick-and-mortar vs. online retailers.
“The SEMA Show is about helping industry businesses succeed, and a big part of that is educating participants with information that will help take their companies to the next level,” said SEMA Vice President of Events Tom Gattuso. “Our seminars give Show participants greater return on their investment and an opportunity to learn about better strategies for success.”
To learn more, access the application and read the criteria.
The educational seminars make up an essential component of the SEMA Show. In addition to connecting automotive manufacturers with professional buyers from all over the world, the four-day SEMA Show is the leading venue for industry experts to network in person and learn new business strategies.
While topics address basic business practices, such as customer service, marketing and social media, the 2019 program will emphasize issues that are of greatest concern to businesses in the automotive aftermarket. All speakers should be able to focus on industry issues and not a specific company position or agenda.
“We pride ourselves in providing top-rated information from industry experts to attendees through the education program,” said SEMA Senior Director of Education Zane Clark. “Seminar proposals should be forward-looking, practical and provide attendees with practical takeaways.”
Applications for speaker submissions are available until Friday, March 1. For more details, contact Zane Clark at zanec@sema.org, 909-978-6743.
