SEMA Show Publications
Participating in SEMA’s Show publications is a simple, no-cost process that begins by submitting a press release to the SEMA Show Online Media Center.

SEMA’s Online Media Center is available to Show Exhibitors to post product and news releases at no cost. All it takes is about 100 words of copy and a high-resolution image, and you can upload a press release to help create excitement and exposure for your company’s products and Show participation. This valuable opportunity puts your company, your booth number, and your new product in front of thousands of potential buyers.

SEMA’s editorial team is currently pulling releases for use in both SEMA News and the SEMA Show Daily. If you want to be considered for publication, it’s time to finalize your text and select the best image of your new product.

The products featured in SEMA’s Pre-Show publications will be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis. Exhibitors are encouraged to continue uploading new materials to the Online Media Center up until the Show opens. For all media covering the SEMA Show, the Online Media Center is designed as a resource that offers visitors a preview of the 2016 SEMA Show.

SEMA Show Director Tom Gattuso offers advice to exhibitors about feature vehicles.

The deadline to apply for a feature vehicle space at the 2016 SEMA Show is August 1. This year’s deadline is several weeks earlier than in the past, so be sure to mark your calendar if you are planning a feature vehicle as part of your Show exhibit experience.

All feature vehicles must be approved and paid for by qualified exhibiting companies. Criteria for placement is based on how the exhibiting company’s products are showcased on the vehicle, whether the vehicle has been featured in the SEMA Show previously, how complete the vehicle build is, and to what degree the vehicle captures all elements of the specialty-equipment market.

Feature vehicles provide exhibitors the ability to highlight products and upgrades on cars and trucks positioned in designated areas away from the company’s SEMA Show booth. With eye-popping colors, unique style and unmatched innovations, feature vehicles are a visual marketing tool to help generate an organic appeal for an exhibitor’s products.

Complete details about feature vehicle registration are available in the SEMA Show Exhibitor Services Manual.

Questions about the process can be directed to Brendan Gillespie; brendang@sema.org, 909-978-6661.
