Companies that submit their booth space application and deposit for the 2020 SEMA Show by Friday, March 27, are eligible to participate in May’s Priority Space Selection process. Buying a booth now guarantees your company’s eligibility for the booth selection process, while creating the opportunity to plan early and take advantage of the early-bird savings available on Show services on everything from electricity to drayage.

The 2020 SEMA Show Priority Space Selection takes place May 4–20. During the selection process, exhibitors use their SEMA Show seniority to choose the best locations for their Show displays at the Las Vegas Convention Center and Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino.

When it’s time to pick a location, a SEMA Show account representative will contact (via telephone) the exhibitor’s primary SEMA Show contact and help locate and assign the space that best suits the company’s needs.

The 2020 SEMA Show is scheduled for Tuesday–Friday, November 3–6, in Las Vegas. To participate in the Priority Space Selection Process, reserve a booth space by visiting www.SEMAShow.com/buyabooth.
