The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas is among the SEMA Show Gold Partner hotels.

Twenty-two Las Vegas hotels demonstrated their support and commitment to servicing SEMA Show exhibitors by participating in the first-ever SEMA Show Exhibitor Summit, May 26–27, 2010. As official vendors of the 2010 SEMA Show, these hotels have earned the SEMA Show Gold Partner designation.

“Our team actively seeks the support of hotels and other service providers to ensure that SEMA Show exhibitors receive high value,” said Chris Kersting, SEMA president and CEO. “These SEMA Show Gold Partners continue to demonstrate their commitment to us by participating in programs like the Exhibitor Summit.”

The Summit was a unique opportunity for exhibitors to spend quality, uninterrupted time with vendors and SEMA Show experts. Nearly 100 participants attended the event in Las Vegas, where they met one-on-one with organizers to discuss topics, such as cost-effectively setting up a booth, attracting quality buyers, managing databases, generating media coverage and more.

Exhibitors interested in learning more about the Summit should contact Jeff Pressman at jpressman@convexx.com.

	Retailers are feeling pretty good about sales prospects for the upcoming summer months.

It's a small sign, but encouraging nonetheless: a SEMA-sponsored survey of nearly 500 specialty-equipment retailers finds that 53.2% reported higher year-to-date sales through April 2010 compared to last year. Less than a third (30.9%), meanwhile, reported flat sales.

The latest SEMA Financial Benchmarking Report also finds retailers in a fairly upbeat mood, with 49.6% predicting sales increases for the summer months. That’s almost a 20% jump compared to last year’s outlook. Large retailers are most optimistic, with 75% predicting up sales, versus just 38.2% of smaller retailers sharing the same sentiment.

Retailers surveyed included retail stores, repair service shops, WDs, Internet sales sites and mail order, among others. Of market segments that retailers sell to, almost half (48.3%) sell truck/SUV products, while 38% sell wheel and tires, and exterior accessories, respectively.
