New for this year, the STAGE will feature daily interviews live from the SEMA Show floor with top industry professionals and personalities addressing topics such as wheel and tire trends, best business practices, marketing and sales.
Produced by SEMA Show Education in partnership with SEMA’s Wheel & Tire Council (WTC), the STAGE will be hosted by Myles Kovacs, DUB Magazine president and co-founder. Interviews will take place multiple times daily in the lower South Hall Education Stage, booth #45227.

On Thursday, November 7, from 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m., Chip Foose will join Kovacs for a special interview and autograph signing session.
