“The SEMA Education program is the best place for speakers to raise their profile, share their expertise and connect with an eager-to-learn audience looking to shape the future of the automotive aftermarket,” said SEMA Director of Education Pamela Brown-Matthis. “Speakers who are passionate about helping others and who can deliver high-value educational content are invited to apply.”

Topics of greatest interest for the 2023 program include aftermarket updates and future trends; diversity, equity and inclusion; electric vehicles; emerging and executive leadership; legal and regulatory; sales and marketing; small-business strategy; vehicle technology; and specific industry segments.

Applications for SEMA’s year-round virtual education component are also available, which provide relevant, engaging and inspiring information on the industry’s complex issues and through online events and informational webinars.
