The 2012 MPMC Media Trade Conference takes place January 24–26, 2012, at the Embassy Suites LAX South Hotel in El Segundo, California.

Attention media: Registration for the 2012 MPMC Media Trade Conference is now open and available online. The 2012 event takes place January 24–26, 2012, at the Embassy Suites LAX South Hotel in El Segundo, California.

The annual Media Trade Conference, which features companies from SEMA's Motorsports Parts Manufacturers Council (MPMC), brings together members of the working press with motorsports parts producers for face-to-face private meetings. Media reps have the opportunity to meet with up to 14 exhibitors each day of the conference—for a total of 42 quality meetings throughout the event's three days.

The meetings provide companies with the opportunity to showcase new products and share company news and developments. They also help to ensure that editors and reporters can interact with executives, technicians and other key personnel to gain valuable information. It’s the most efficient, effective and affordable way for reporters to get detailed information, specific to their audience’s needs and interests.

Last month, the 100 exhibitors that will participate in the 2012 Media Trade Conference were selected via a random number “lottery” from 122 exhibitor registrations. A list of the participating exhibitors is below.
