The Priority Space Allocation for the November SEMA Show will take place May 4–20, and the final day for application submissions is this Friday, March 27. During this allocation process, exhibitors use their SEMA Show seniority to systematically choose their display location, which will be the center of their planning process for the November event.

While all current exhibitor milestone dates for applications and deposits remain intact, SEMA Show Management announced earlier this month that they have implemented new policy changes to lower the level of uncertainty, ease concerns and allow exhibitors to invest in the Show with confidence. The changes specify that qualified companies are now able to pick their space in May, but have the option to cancel their space at any time prior to September 1, 2020, for a full refund of exhibit-space payments. Should you have any concerns regarding participating in the 2020 SEMA Show, we encourage you to contact your Industry Account Director or the SEMA Show team at 909-396-0289, or email semashow@sema.org.

Companies that are unable to participate in the May space allocation are welcome to join the Show at a future date. The same refund policy of September 1 will also apply.

The Priority Space Allocation has always been a virtual and transparent process, and this year is no different. Starting with the highest levels of seniority and moving year by year through every application, each section of the Show gets systematically filled. A team of Industry Account Directors is tasked to personally contact each exhibiting company and review their best exhibit location options based on their needs and display goals. You can follow the process live as it unfolds and see exactly how the SEMA Show is formed from the ground up.

The 2020 SEMA Show is scheduled for Tuesday–Friday, November 3–6, in Las Vegas. To participate in the Priority Space Selection Process, reserve a booth space by visiting www.SEMAShow.com/buyabooth.

Exclusive interview footage from the most recent SEMA Show STAGE featuring Sean P. Holman, co-creator of the TruckShow Podcast, MotorTrend Group, is now available. Hosted by entrepreneur and founder of DUB Magazine Myles Kovacs, the STAGE series brings viewers into the hearts and minds of notable industry personalities as they participate in thought-provoking discussions that educate, engage, and inspire.

Get to know what drives Holman’s passion as he provides his unique and entertaining perspective on trends in the exploding overland market, the importance of mentorship, breaking the news on Ford’s F-150 SVT Raptor release, the importance of automotive education, and more.

“[We’re] re-educating society and our kids and telling them, ‘Listen, you don’t have to go to a four-year college—you can do something with your hands, you can make something,’” said Holman. “There’s so much need out there for fabricators and welders, and look at all the things that are at the [SEMA] Show … they’ve all been touched by human hands, people who have been trained in a trade.”

Other topics include Holman’s insight on today’s media landscape, focusing on how aftermarket companies can best use different platforms to their advantage and providing advice for those interested in launching their own podcast.

“I think that today’s media landscape is so fragmented with where to go, there’s a lot of choices but I think if you have a smart marketing manager who can see the big picture, there are ways to integrate everything and still get to where your customers are.”
