Plans for the 2020 SEMA Show in Las Vegas continue for November 3–6, and organizers continue to monitor the landscape and work closely with state/city officials and health experts to provide the industry with the best possible event to help their businesses.

With health and safety a top priority, the SEMA Show will include several preventive measures that will minimize risks for all those at the event, including required use of face coverings, addition of hand sanitizing stations, increased cleaning, one-way aisles and more.

Considered the No. 1 attraction for attendees and media, the New Products Showcase is the easiest way to display new products and best sellers outside of your booth, generating additional sales leads and media interest.

All Showcase submissions are professionally photographed in a mock studio, and the photos are used by media for Show coverage and are also made available to exhibitors to use for promotional purposes. Each product includes detailed information and descriptive signs, and the product information is immediately available to buyers at the Show. All of the products in the Showcase are promoted in SEMA News magazine during the upcoming year.

To provide the opportunity for you to get more eyes on your company's hottest sellers or legacy brands, a featured product category is available for products that are not considered “new.” The first product entered in the New Products Showcase is free. All additional entries are $75 per product if entered by Friday, October 9, after which, the fee is $150 per product. Note: Entries submitted on-site will be accepted based on space availability.

The New Products Showcase section for 2020 will be constructed to meet social distancing requirements. Traffic control and one-way aisles will be included to reduce crowd gatherings. Show management is making plans to preserve the Show’s core business value in a safety-first environment. Face coverings are required for entry into the 2020 SEMA Show. Those who arrive without a face covering will be provided a complimentary one on-site.
