Individuals with SEMA Show credentials can order tickets to the banquet online.

“The Industry Awards Banquet is a time for the industry to celebrate,” said Peter MacGillivray, SEMA vice president of communications and events. “All Showgoers—including exhibitors, buyers and media—are welcome to join us as we recognize some of the important people who have helped make this industry so successful. It’s also a great time to network and to unwind after a long week at the Show. We’ll have great food and some amazing entertainment this year.”

Additional entertainment will be provided by comedians John Heffron and Jon Reep, who will perform during the dinner. The SEMA After Party, also being held at the LVH Paradise Event Center from 10:00 p.m.–11:00 p.m., will feature Taylor Hicks.
