Exhibiting companies and industry professionals attending the 2026 SEMA Show, November 3-6, in Las Vegas, are invited to connect with students pursuing careers in the automotive aftermarket industry with a table at the Student Program Industry Networking Breakfast. This exclusive event will be held on Thursday, November 5, from 8:00 a.m.-9:30 a.m. PST in West Hall in the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The networking breakfast is a staple of the SEMA Show Student Program, connecting automotive aftermarket leaders with the industry's future workforce. By hosting a table, industry members will be able to share their company's mission and help guide and inspire the next generation of automotive professionals. It also serves as a great recruitment tool and is a chance to create quality connections with students eager to jumpstart their automotive careers.
