A cool project vehicle will make the cover of magazines and even go viral on social media, but the builders are often the unsung heroes. Get to know and hear from some of the industry’s top vehicle builders by taking part in a SEMA360 Education Seminar.
Taking place 100% online, November 2–6, SEMA360 is the new trade-only event for the automotive specialty-equipment industry that is focused on new products, feature vehicles, education and manufacturer/buyer connections. Over the course of five days, the Education Seminar program will include more than 30 sessions all available at no additional cost to those who are already signed up for SEMA360.
Below are four must-attend seminars featuring builders as they share how they started in the industry, the challenges they’ve faced and what they see for the future. These sessions will help inspire other builders, while providing others in the industry with insight and knowledge as well. All sessions and registration for SEMA360 can be found at www.sema360.com.
