Journalists and reporters can participate in private meetings with some of the industry’s top performance product manufacturers during the 2015 Media Trade Conference in Santa Ana, California.

Journalists are invited to sit down in private, uninterrupted meetings with executives representing some of the top motorsports parts producers in the business during the 2015 MPMC Media Trade Conference. The conference, which takes place Tuesday–Thursday, January 20–22, 2015, at the Embassy Suites Orange County Airport North in Santa Ana, California, features companies that are members of SEMA’s Motorsports Parts Manufacturers Council (MPMC).

When reporters register at www.sema.org/mtcreg, they can select the companies with which they wish to meet. Early registration guarantees that reporters will receive the best possible schedule prior to the SEMA event, which will feature 100 manufacturers.

During registration, SEMA makes every effort to match journalists with the companies that they indicate they’re interested in meeting, so participants are encouraged to pay close attention to the companies they select. Journalists should also mark “Do Not Meet” for the companies outside of their editorial needs.

For questions regarding the event, contact Della Domingo at dellad@sema.org.

It’s said that necessity is the mother of invention. If you’ve ever been to San Antonio, Texas, in the summer, you know it’s not uncommon for the mercury to push the triple digits. When it’s that hot, having a running air-conditioning system in your car is a must. Enter Jack Chisenhall. When he founded Vintage Air in 1976, no one else was producing air-conditioning systems and components for classic cars and trucks.

What do a Toyota HiLux, a Ford Ranger T6, an UAZ Hunter and a Mitsubishi L200 have in common? For one thing, these vehicles are known for being aftermarket-accessory friendly, are extremely popular with enthusiasts and are typically upgraded by owners who seek to take them off-roading. Another thing that they have in common is that none of these vehicles are sold in the United States, but being very popular throughout much of the rest of the world, they offer export-marketing potential for U.S. companies.
