 New Products Showcase
 Make sure buyers and media see your new products—enter them in the SEMA Show New Products Showcase! Don't miss the October 9 deadline.

One of the staple features of the SEMA Show, the New Products Showcase highlights the industry’s most recent innovations in performance, function and style.

And time is running out to get your product featured in the Showcase! As an exhibitor, your first product entry into the Showcase is free. But you must act by October 9. Simply visit www.semashow.com/newproducts and use your exhibitor password to register your product

Forgot your password? Contact Michelle Sandler at 702/450-7662 ext. 119 or msandler@convexx.com.

Additional product entries are $75 if registered by October 9. After October 9, all products must be submitted at the Show for a fee of $250 per product.

Don’t wait. The deadline is two weeks away!

For the 2009 Show, the Showcase is moving to a larger and more prominent location, nearly double the size of its previous footprint in the Grand Lobby area of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

This year, look for it in the front of the upper South Hall in front of the Trucks, SUVs & Off-Road and Powersports & Utility Vehicles sections (view floorplan here).

Like last year, buyers will use scanners which read a barcode associated with the product. The captured product information can then be downloaded in several formats. This year, SEMA is redesigning the product display cases to improve scanning reliability.

Exhibitors who wish to enter a product in the New Products Showcase can register here. The first product entry is complimentary, and exhibitors can register a product in multiple categories.

The New Products Showcase will open at 8:00 a.m., prior to Show hours.

PRO will host its inaugural "Novemberfest" reception Tuesday evening at the 2009 SEMA Show.

The Professional Restylers Organization (PRO), a SEMA council, invites all industry professionals to attend its first Novemberfest reception to meet and network with OEM restylers, manufacturers, industry media and others on Tuesday, November 3, 5:30 p.m.—7:30 p.m., in the Las Vegas Hilton Ballroom D.

“This is the first-ever PRO reception in Las Vegas and we’re determined to set the bar high and host an event our members and other industry guests will find beneficial,” said PRO Council Chairman Karl Stearns. “The restyling industry is strong right now and there are many exciting opportunities, so we encourage everyone to make plans to attend Novemberfest.”

Attendees need not be members of PRO or SEMA to be a part of this inaugural event, but SEMA representatives will be present for those interested in joining onsite. SEMA membership offers benefits such as additional networking events, education regarding new resources, sales ideas and techniques, and valuable industry insight.

PRO will host an open bar and hors d’oeuvres thanks to donations from event sponsors Advantage Truck Accessories, Insignia Group, Restyler’s Choice, Katzkin, ICI and Classic Design Concepts. All attendees will receive commemorative t-shirts from Eagle Enterprises.

The council will also honor leading restyling companies and individuals at Novemberfest, including winners of the following awards: PRO Restyler of the Year sponsored by Insignia Group, PRO Manufacturer of the Year sponsored by Grote Lighting, the Jim Borre Lifetime Achievement Award and the Nat Danas Person of the Year Award sponsored by Truck and Auto Customizing magazine.

Also of interest to companies in the restyling industry is the PRO Open Meeting on Thursday, November 5, 2009, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. in the Las Vegas Convention Center meeting room N219.
