President Trump signed into law the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” in December, which overhauls the U.S. tax code and reduces taxes by $1.5 trillion over the next decade. The new law provides the most sweeping changes to the federal tax code in decades, permanently reducing the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% while lowering personal income tax rates through 2025. With the law taking effect in tax year 2018, businesses are studying how it will impact their bottom line.

The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), of which SEMA is a member, is surveying manufacturers across the country to determine the impact of the new law. If your company is engaged in manufacturing, please fill out the nine-question survey. When answering the second question, please be sure to note that you are a SEMA member.

The Priority Space Selection process provides exhibitors with the opportunity to choose the best locations for their Show displays.

Companies that submit booth space applications for the 2018 SEMA Show by Friday, March 30, are eligible to participate in the Priority Space Selection process. The space selection process, beginning April 30, is based on exhibitor seniority, and provides companies with the opportunity to choose the best locations for their Show displays.

Leading up to the selection process, each company will be contacted via email with their booth selection date and time range. The email will be sent to the person listed as the exhibitor’s primary SEMA Show contact.

About an hour prior to the time to select, exhibitors are encouraged to be prepared by viewing the 2018 Show’s online floorpan. Updated every 30 minutes, exhibitors can see as the Show begins to take shape and monitor their desired section to gain a general idea of where they want to display.

Between April 24–27, each primary contact should take time to check their email, including their “junk” folders. Companies that have not received a correspondence by April 27 or that want to change the primary Show contact listed on the application should email sales@sema.org or call 909-396-0289.

During the exhibitor’s time to pick, a SEMA Show account representative will call the primary SEMA Show contact and help locate and assign the exhibit space that best suits the company’s needs.

The 2018 SEMA Show is scheduled for Tuesday–Friday, October 30–November 2, in Las Vegas. There’s still time to participate in the Priority Space Selection Process. Reserve a booth space for 2018 now by visiting www.SEMAShow.com/buyabooth.
