Register for the 2020 SEMA Show Exhibitor Summit.

The SEMA Show Summit event brings together individuals who are new to the Show with experienced exhibitors looking to generate the most business and recognition through Show week. All attendees will benefit from sessions conducted by experienced trade show pros as they cover how to properly budget, identify existing time-saving programs that they may not be using, and generate more foot traffic, along with best practices for post-Show follow-up, avoiding misleading vendors claiming to be official Show partners, and much more.

Among the speakers providing insight will be Tom Gattuso, SEMA vice president of events, who will explain the ways to avoid the most common pitfalls that exhibitors experience. The mission of the event is to help all attendees regardless of trade-show experience by limiting the cost and time needed to prepare for November.

In addition to the sessions, exhibitors will also be able to meet with their respective Show sales rep. Sales representatives are the first point of contact for exhibitors who have general Show questions, who are seeking sponsorship opportunities or who want to stretch their Show budgets through no-cost, value-added programs.

Cost for the SEMA Show Exhibitor Summit is intentionally low, with hotels, meals and workshops covered by SEMA. The only expense that attendees will incur is transportation to and from the event.

To register and for more information, visit the SEMA Show website. To learn more about the 2020 SEMA Show, visit www.SEMAShow.com.

The Ford Mustang Bullitt is set to sunset after the ’20 model year, and its replacement—the Mustang Mach 1—is supposedly set to arrive for 2021, which makes this prototype perplexing.

The prototype in question is wearing camouflage front and rear. It also appears to be wearing the Dark Highland Green exterior paint that is a signature of the current Bullitt. Given the presence of the camouflage, it would appear that the vehicle will wear some unique fascias front and back. The front end, in particular, looks to be slightly different than what’s currently available on the Mustang line. Meanwhile, the bright multi-spoke wheels appear more in line with what we’d see on the Mustang Pony Package. That said, the bright window trim seems to be right in line with what the Bullitt currently offers.

Little is currently known about the Mustang Mach 1, other than the fact that it will launch for the ’21 model year. It will allegedly have some performance enhancements over the traditional Mustang GT on which it will be based.
