A Message From Nate Shelton

SEMA Chairman of the Board

The 2013 SEMA Show was by all accounts a record breaker. More people attended, there were more international visitors and more booth space was taken than ever before in SEMA’s history. I’m happy to report that the 2014 Show is on track to exceed all of those numbers. This year has been a great year for business, and we are all hoping for an even better 2015—and the 2014 SEMA Show is the right place to kick it all off.

This year’s Show promises to have more fabulous new project cars, custom builds and incredible vehicle debuts than ever before. But what really excites me is the number of first-time exhibitors we will see this year, and the even bigger news will be all of the creative and innovative new products that will be on display at the Show.

On top of all the neat stuff going on at the Show, you absolutely cannot miss SEMA Ignited! This will be an exciting new expansion of the SEMA Cruise that has taken place the last few years on Friday night after the Show closes. Several cool vehicles from the Show will follow a cruise route over to the LINQ’s High Roller—you know, that gigantic new Ferris wheel just off the strip. SEMA will be throwing a huge party and car show there until the wee hours of the night.

The 2014 SEMA Show will be the automotive happening of the year—the place to be seen! I know you are just as excited as I am about this year’s Show, so let’s make this year’s trip to Las Vegas the best SEMA Show of our lives.

See you there!

Cordially,

Nate Shelton
