Attending the 2026 SEMA Show, November 3-6 in Las Vegas? Here's what attendees need to know about registration, badge pickup and required identification before arriving at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC).
Where to Pick Up Your SEMA Show Badge
Attendees can pick up their 2026 SEMA Show badges at the West Hall or Lower South Hall (on the east side of the building) of the LVCC.
Before arriving, attendees must:
- Bring a government-issued photo ID: A driver's license or passport is acceptable. Copies, photos and digital versions of IDs will not be accepted.
- Make sure registration information matches: The name on the ID must match the name on the badge. Attendees may only collect their own badges.
- Allow time for badge pickup: Attendees who have already received their badges by mail should bring them to the Show. Lost mailed badges can be reprinted on-site for a fee. Standard attendee and buyer badges are $100.
How to Register On-Site for the 2026 SEMA Show
Not registered yet? On-site registration is available at the Main Registration area in the Lower South Hall of the LVCC. Lines may be lengthy, so online registration is encouraged.
Attendees registering on-site must bring qualification documentation and a government-issued photo ID.
