Certified Exhibitors Prepare for Excellence


Diamond Bar, California (June 3, 2010) – Nearly 100 exhibitors demonstrated their commitment to getting the most out of the 2010 SEMA Show by taking part in the first-ever SEMA Show Exhibitor Summit. Held last week at the Las Vegas Convention Center, the unprecedented event included two days of intense training on topics designed to increase efficiencies and enhance return on investment.

“The Summit gave us a great opportunity to work with exhibitors individually and in person,” said Chris Kersting, SEMA president and CEO. “We’re glad that so many companies invested the time to join us. With five months to go before the SEMA Show, they can now take what they learned and prepare for a truly successful event in November.”

Participating exhibitors heard from key staff members and trade show experts on issues such as how to maximize their Show presence, target relevant buyers, expand marketing reach, and more. In recognition of completing the training program, participants earned the “Certified 2010 SEMA Show Exhibitor” designation.

Show organizers will continue to work with all SEMA Show exhibitors on how to get the most out of the upcoming event. To learn more about programs available to exhibitors, contact Jeff Pressman at jpressman@convexx.com or 702-450-7662.
