The 2013 November issue of SEMA News features the 2013 SEMA Show Directory—a key resource buyers use to locate exhibitors in the Las Vegas Hotel and the Las Vegas Convention Center.

By Jason Catullo

The SEMA Show Directory is one of the key resources that buyers use to locate exhibitors in the Las Vegas Hotel and the Las Vegas Convention Center. With more than 130,000 attending the SEMA Show each year, it's important that each exhibitor's listing is accurate in both the printed and online SEMA Show Directory.

In addition to providing buyers with company locations, the SEMA Show directory also includes brief company descriptions and a map detailing the layouts of the Show's halls.

Co-founder of Speedway Motors Joyce Smith, “Mrs. Speedway,” passed away Sunday, August 4, after a courageous 34-month battle with cancer.

Smith played an integral role in the Speedway Motors business since its inception in 1952. Fresh out of college, Joyce loaned her new husband, “Speedy” Bill, the $300 he needed to start the Lincoln, Nebraska-based speed shop. She worked alongside him for the next 61 years, initially serving as Speedway’s bookkeeper, parts runner and counter girl, and always as a financial officer, corporate secretary and treasurer.

Her six-decade involvement with Speedway Motors earned her a wonderful reputation throughout the racing world and performance industry. Her tremendous impact on the automotive community was recognized in 2005 when she was honored with the Goodguys Woman of the Year Award. As the co-founder of the Museum of American Speed, Smith was able to share her profound love of racing and rodding with future generations.

She is survived by her husband “Speedy” Bill Smith and children Carson, Craig, Clay and Jason.

Funeral services will be private. A public celebration of life is scheduled for late September. In lieu of flowers, the Smith family asks that friends share their memories of Joyce through a memorial at the Museum of American Speed:

	The SEMA Show Daily is a great tool for companies looking to directly promote new products and achievements to Showgoers and buyers.

The SEMA Show Daily, the official newspaper of the SEMA Show, delivers the latest updates and news from SEMA Show floor. The newspaper is distributed to every booth, at kiosks throughout the Las Vegas Convention Center and at the entrance of each exhibit hall starting on opening day. Organized by the Show's 12 sections, it features dedicated editorial relevant to specific markets, quickly connecting buyers from a wide range of markets with new product debuts, industry-related announcements, SEMA Show programs, special events and more.

The newspaper is produced on-site by the SEMA Publications team and is a great tool for companies looking to directly promote new products and achievements to Showgoers and buyers. Several of the sections within the newspaper are sponsored by publishing companies exhibiting at the SEMA Show, who provide promotional and editorial content related to their markets. This year's section hosts are: BodyShop Business - Collision Repair & Refinish; 4WDrive/SunCruiser Publishing - Trucks, SUVs & Off-Road; Performance Auto & Sound Magazine - Mobile Electronics & Technology; Performance Racing Industry (PRI) - Racing & Performance; and Tire Review (two sections) - Global Tire Expo Powered by the Tire Industry Association, and Wheels & Accessories. 

The first issue of the SEMA Show Daily will hit mailboxes several weeks prior to the opening of the 2013 SEMA Show, offering readers a preview what to expect for this year. The next three installments of the daily will provide an overview of press conferences, seminars, special events and other can’t-miss opportunities related to the 2013 SEMA Show.

For editorial consideration, exhibitors are encouraged to e-mail SEMA Editorial Director John Stewart (johns@sema.org) with news releases about new products, project-vehicle developments or Show-related events and any related artwork in a high-resolution file (.tif, .eps, .jpg format).

In addition to pre-Show publicity and promotion, as companies receive accolades for new product introductions, project-vehicle builds and industry awards, the SEMA Show Daily is proudly among the first publications to celebrate these accomplishments. Exhibitors are encouraged to include the SEMA Show Daily team on their distribution lists as they distribute Show announcements by adding johns@sema.org to their contact lists.
