Celebrate the Industry: SEMA Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser

“The annual installation banquet is a chance to honor our newly elected Board of Directors as well as our Hall of Fame members,” said Chris Kersting, SEMA president and CEO. “The fact that we are able to support SEMA’s selected charitable organizations is an added bonus and something we are proud to sponsor.”

The banquet is open to all industry professionals and begins at 6:00 p.m. with cocktails. Immediately following is a sit-down dinner where the 2013 SEMA Hall of Fame members are introduced alongside the newly elected SEMA Board of Directors, who will be sworn in as part of the official program. The 2013 SEMA Hall of Fame inductees are George Barris, Eric Grant, Wade Kawasaki and “Gentleman Joe” Schubeck.

Tickets and further information are available from Jamie Eriksen or call 909-978-6737. Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit various SEMA Cares charities.

SEMA Show Starts Off Strong

This year’s SEMA Show booth-selection process was a success. Almost 2,000 exhibitors signed up for priority booth selection, which took place May 2–15, 2013. This represents a 6% increase over last year’s numbers, and a complete, updated floorplan is now available at www.SEMAShow.com. Since 91% of buyers base their decisions on whether to attend the SEMA Show partly on what companies are exhibiting, these numbers are certainly a testament to the early support and enthusiasm for this year’s SEMA Show. Companies are able to sign up any time for exhibit space at www.SEMAShow.com/buyabooth. The SEMA Show is set for November 5–8, 2013, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
