SEMA Data Co-op
The SEMA Data Co-op is offering free data-management consultations in booth #20679 during Show week.

The SEMA Data Co-op (SDC) team will be out in full force during Show week, offering free data-management consultations in booth #20679 and demonstrating its services to buyers in a second location—the Grand Lobby in SEMA Central.

“We are very excited about this year’s SEMA Show,” said Mike Spagnola, SEMA vice president of OEM and product development. “With two specialized SDC booth locations, we will be able to talk to more manufacturers and buyers at the Show.  

“In addition, we are spotlighting manufacturers who have achieved Platinum status in the SDC. Platinum status means that buyers can expect the best and most complete data in the marketplace from that manufacturer to populate their website, computer or anywhere else they need catalog and point-of-sale data. Make sure you stop by these manufacturers’ booths and ask them if you can receive their data through the SDC.”

To learn more about how to receive data from the SDC or to become an SDC member, stop by the SDC booth in SEMA Central for a free five-minute demo or to sign up and start using the industry’s most complete product data.

Additionally, the SDC is scheduling meetings in booth #20679 every hour from 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. during the Show (until Friday at 4:00 p.m.). The SDC booth is located behind the Ford display in Central Hall, one level above the Show floor in the raised meeting room.

Request a meeting time now!

“The SEMA Data Co-op is the only industry-owned and -operated product-data repository with all the tools and expert assistance to get your data in order,” said Jim Graven, senior director of membership. “Data receivers love our program, which provides unlimited data exports at no charge to SEMA members.”

The three-wheeled Slingshot will hold its press conference Tuesday, October 30, at 4:00 p.m., at the Slingshot Joyride location in the Westgate Lot (booth #80050).

Polaris Slingshot is hosting 2018 SEMA Show attendees with its “Joyride” ride-along experience. The three-wheeled Slingshot will feature in a press conference Tuesday, October 30, at 4:00 p.m., at the Slingshot Joyride location in the Westgate Lot (booth #80050). Slingshot promises the 20-minute press conference will be fun, as passengers will ride with professional drivers while they burnout and drift the roadster through a custom-built road course.

In addition to the “Joyrides,” Slingshot executives will highlight its ’19 lineup, which features four models, starting with the entry-level S model priced under $20,000.

Slingshot Joyrides will continue throughout the SEMA Show, as Showgoers can ride along and experience the fun of riding shotgun in the three-wheeled, five-speed, 173hp Slingshot roadster. 

Despite a federal motorcycle classification, Slingshot drivers in 44 states, including Nevada, can operate a Slingshot with their standard driver’s license, without the need of a motorcycle endorsement.
