SEMA Ignited will also feature the Battle of the Builders, highlighting 10 deserving crafters and their vehicles on the center stage of the event as well as through a nationally televised special sponsored by SEMA.

In addition to housing one of the SEMA Show’s largest First-Time & Featured Exhibitor areas, the Gold Pavilion will also feature the taping of Velocity’s popular TV show “Overhaulin’,” starring Chip Foose. Bleachers will be available so that attendees can watch the episode in progress. The Gold Pavilion will also include an area for taxi drop-off and pickup, making it more convenient to visit the area at the beginning or end of each SEMA Show day.

Attendees have the chance to head home from the SEMA Show in a fully equipped Anvil Blue Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon as part of the Omix-ADA Jeep Giveaway featured in the company’s Off-Road Success Center (booth #34000). In addition to the Jeep giveaway, the Off-Road Success Center will host several civilian Jeeps from the company’s collection, which showcases a variety of historically significant Jeeps that range from pre-WWII prototypes through the modern-day JK Wrangler.
The SEMA Show New Products Showcase is a must-see for attendees seeking the newest products and innovations from top companies in the automotive specialty-equipment market. Located in the east end of the Upper South Hall, the New Products Showcase is the ideal area to review and research the latest products to hit the scene. In fact, media and attendees typically make the Showcase their first stop to help reduce the legwork of discovering new products on the Show floor.
More than 2,000 products will be on display, and the information will also be available to download on www.semaphotos.com.
Be there for the SEMA Cruise on the closing day of the Show as the world’s most celebrated customized vehicles exit the Convention Center and form a unique parade of custom motorized artwork. For the first time, the SEMA Cruise has a destination—SEMA Ignited, an extravaganza at The LINQ Promenade. The festivities will include food, music, celebrities, iconic builders and displays.
SEMA Ignited will also feature the Battle of the Builders, highlighting 10 deserving crafters and their vehicles on the center stage of the event as well as through a nationally televised special sponsored by SEMA. The action begins Friday, November 7, at 4:00 p.m. Participation is free of charge to exhibitors and attendees by virtue of their involvement in the 2014 SEMA Show.
Download the 2014 SEMA Show Mobile App and enjoy new and useful trade-show features, such as a customizable schedule of events, a searchable list of exhibitors and connectivity to the most popular social-media sites.
