Join SEMA, July 25–26, for a busy two-day program designed to help members grow their overseas businesses. Topics covered during the Export Fair will include using social media to promote your brand/products in China, complying with overseas regulatory requirements, and understanding the legal costs to enhancing the global protection of your trademarks and patents. Attendees will also learn tips from a panel of manufacturers with a collective 100-plus years of exporting experience, as well as an international buyer panel of performance and off-road products.

View this brief video recap below of last year's SEMA Export Fair.

Now in its second year, the SEMA Export Fair, held at the SEMA Garage in Diamond Bar, California, is a great opportunity to learn from the experts, meet with a panel of international buyers from Australia, the Middle East and China, and network with fellow SEMA members over In-N-Out Burger.

Thanks to the efforts of the National Association of Automobile Clubs of Canada, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan have each issued a proclamation designating July 2017 as Automotive Heritage Month. These provinces join others that have officially recognized this celebration of collector cars.

Since 2010, the U.S. Senate has passed resolutions at the SEMA Action Network’s (SAN) request to acknowledge Collector Car Appreciation Day, which serves to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society. This year’s celebration is scheduled for Friday, July 14.
