The 2014 SEMA Show Mobile App makes navigating the annual event easier than ever with features, such as exhibitor lists, seminar schedules, event listings, route generators and more.

“This is not your ordinary trade show app,” said Peter MacGillivray, SEMA vice president of communications and events. “Our new app is built to help move attendees around the Show as efficiently as possible so that they can see more great products, while helping exhibitors fill their day with quality meetings. We can’t wait for everyone to benefit from it.”

The mobile app includes traditional features, such as a customizable schedule of events, searchable list of exhibitors, and connectivity to the most popular social media sites. The most dynamic feature, however, is the “Locate Me” option that pinpoints the location of users at the SEMA Show and provides turn-by-turn directions to any place on the Show floor.

“Attendees at the SEMA Show want to spend their time meeting with exhibitors. The last thing anyone wants to do is spend their time trying to track down a specific booth,” said MacGillivray.

The 2014 SEMA Show Mobile App is available free of charge through iTunes and Android stores. Those who downloaded previous SEMA Show apps will need to download a new one. Those whose mobile devices are not compatible with traditional apps can access a web version.

Comedian and SEMA Show crowd favorite Sinbad—along with up-and-coming soul and R&B artist Curtis Harding—will entertain guests at the 2014 SEMA Show Industry Awards Banquet. The annual industry celebration, taking place Thursday, November 6, features dinner and a presentation of several industry awards, including the SEMA Person of the Year, WD of the Year and Rep Agency of the Year.

Sinbad is internationally known for his starring appearances in hit movies, such as Jingle All the Way, playing opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger; Houseguest, co-starring the late Phil Hartman; and his film debut Necessary Roughness, where he performed none of his own stunts. He has starred in the television sitcom, “A Different World” and his own series, “The Sinbad Show.”

Versatile vocalist Curtis Harding fuses the passion and intensity of classic soul and R&B with the attitude of indie rock, and has made a name for himself in both rock and R&B circles. Born and raised in Saginaw, Michigan, Harding settled in Atlanta. Harding's vocals have appeared on several remixes from OutKast, and he became part of Cee Lo Green's team, working with him as a back-up vocalist on the road, adding vocal tracks to albums and co-writing material with Green. Harding’s acclaimed full-length effort, Soul Power, appeared in the spring of 2014. Check out Harding on YouTube.
