  online floorplan
  The 2010 SEMA Show online floorplan allows you to see where exhibitors have reserved space—and what's still available if you're waiting until the last minute to commit!

The 2010 SEMA Show Priority Booth Space Selection concluded last week with 1,541 companies securing nearly 800,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space, up more than 100,000 sq. ft. from the same time last year.

Check out the list of exhibitors and a floorplan showing each exhibitor’s location.

Site visitors are encouraged to check the floorplan regularly, as exhibitor applications continue to come in and are assigned space daily.

“Every year, our exhibitors amaze us with their innovation and ingenuity," said Peter MacGillivray, SEMA vice president of communications and events. "We’re excited to see what this year’s SEMA Show will bring. Based on what we’re hearing from exhibitors, it’s clear that manufacturers have a lot of exciting new things to share with the industry, and they have big plans for sharing that news during the upcoming SEMA Show.”

Among those who have already selected their SEMA Show booth space are 267 companies exhibiting for the first time and 142 companies that sat out in 2009.

Some sections currently established, such as the Racing & Performance area and the Paint, Body & Equipment area, are nearing capacity. Show organizers are working closely with new exhibitors that sign up in these market categories to ensure their booths are strategically located.

“Even with a 2 million square-foot convention center, we’ve been challenged in the past with selling out and having to create alternative locations for exhibitors,” said MacGillivray. “We anticipate that we’ll be doing the same this year.”

Manufacturers interested in exhibiting at the 2010 SEMA Show are encouraged to view the online floorplan to see what’s available and to call 702/450-7662, ext. 120, to get more details. To reserve your space today, visit www.SEMAShow.com/buyabooth.

Paint, Body & Equipment 2010 SEMA Show
Nearly 80 companies have committed to exhibit in the 2010 SEMA Show Paint, Body & Equipment area, an increase of almost 45% compared to 2009.

The Paint, Body & Equipment (PBE) section of the SEMA Show is the fastest-growing area of the event, with nearly 45% more exhibitors already confirmed to exhibit in just the specific PBE section during the 2010 event compared to the previous year.

At the close of the Priority Booth Space Selection process, a total of 79 companies had signed up to exhibit in the 2010 SEMA Show PBE section alone, compared to 55 the previous year. In addition, there are hundreds of other companies throughout the SEMA Show this year that will be showcasing their products to the paint and body market, including such long-standing exhibitors as House of Kolor, PPG, Sherwin Williams, 3M and more.

The truly diverse line of manufacturers participating in the SEMA Show that carry products for the paint and body segment, from companies located in the Racing & Performance section, Restoration Marketplace and Tools & Equipment section, is a testament to the industry's tremendous support of the show and the value they find in exhibiting.

The growth in the PBE section in particular, which comes just one year after the section was introduced and includes 40 companies exhibiting at the SEMA Show for the first time, can be viewed through the floorplan and exhibitor list here.

“The paint and body market has increasingly become an important market,” said Peter MacGillivray, SEMA vice president of communications and events. “That’s why the Paint, Body & Equipment section of the Show was expanded in just its second year of existence. That’s also why we are partnering with industry experts to provide this audience with quality education and networking opportunities.”

Organizers partnered with the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) to present Repairer Driven Education (RDE) during the SEMA Show. RDE includes 21 seminars specifically designed or chosen with the collision repair professional in mind. Each session features known and respected speakers within the industry.

SCRS will also be holding a number of meetings, forums and receptions in Las Vegas during the SEMA Show, November 2–5, making it easy and affordable for its members to participate in SCRS activities and attend the SEMA Show.

“The landscape and business of automotive paint is changing,” said MacGillivray. “At the SEMA Show, we’re constantly evolving to adjust to the changing marketplace. It’s been exciting for us to be able to meet the needs of this market and provide businesses with new opportunities and cost savings.”

Industry professionals will also be able to conveniently attend meetings with the Collision Industry Conference (CIC) and participate in education from I-CAR during the SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

NATIONWIDE DEBUT: The next-generation NASCAR Nationwide Series cars will make their debut this Friday during the Subway Jalapeno 250 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida.

KING OF SPRINT WEEK: Tim Shaffer may have won three events during the 28th annual O’Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions Ohio Sprint Speedweek, but 18-year-old David Gravel walked away with the overall crown Sunday at Fremont Speedway.

TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN: Nobuhiro Tajima claimed the overall and unlimited class titles for the fifth-straight year during the 88th annual Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

BIG MONEY: Shane Clanton bagged a $30,500 payday with his victory in the World of Outlaws Late Model Series Firecracker 100 at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania, Saturday.

STILL CERTIFIED:
Impact Racing won a temporary injunction against the SFI Foundation last week, preventing SFI from decertifying its products made in 2009 and 2010 until Impact is given the chance “to be heard either in writing or by personal appearance.”

WELCOME BACK:
The IZOD IndyCar Series confirmed its plans to return to New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire, for the first time since 1998 Sunday. The series will return to the track July 30, 2011, as part of a three-year contract.

BUSTED: Two-time NASCAR Nationwide Series champion Randy LaJoie was suspended indefinitely by NASCAR last week after violating NASCAR’s substance-abuse policy. LaJoie was also suspended by ESPN, where he worked as analyst.

BANNED: US F1, which failed to field make the Formula One grid this year, has been “disqualified” by the FIA from taking part in any FIA-sanctioned competition. Team officials were also fined $382,000. The team recently sold most of its equipment via auction.

BIG WEEKEND: Not only did Greg Anderson pocket $50,000 for winning the K&N Horsepower Challenge event for Pro Stock teams, but he also won the overall Pro Stock crown during the NHRA Summit Racing Equipment Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio, to bag an extra $25,000 double-up bonus from the NHRA.

FACELIFT: Reports are circulating that current owners Handy Racing Promotions could sell the California-based Golden State Challenge Sprint Car Series to former racer Dan Simpson.
