Applications for exhibitor space at the 2010 SEMA Show will be available online in mid-March.

Exhibitor applications will soon be available for the 2010 SEMA Show, taking place Tuesday–Friday, November 2–5, 2010, in Las Vegas. The forms, which will be posted at www.SEMAShow.com in mid-March, must be returned by May 7, 2010, in order to participate in the priority-space-selection process.

The SEMA Show is the premier automotive accessories trade show in the world. The annual event draws more than 100,000 industry professionals, including 50,000 buyers and 2,300 media representatives.

“The SEMA Show is an exclusive event where auto parts manufacturers and buyers come together to do business,” said Peter MacGillivray, SEMA vice president of communications and events. “With 2 million sq. ft. of exhibits and attractions, serious buyers come to the SEMA Show to see new products and discover new trends.”

Since the SEMA Show debuted in 1967, the event has been instrumental in helping small auto parts manufacturers reach a large number of industry buyers. In 2009, 87% of buyers at the SEMA Show make or influence buying decisions, and 73% said that they purchase more products from SEMA Show exhibitors than from non-exhibiting companies.

Geared primarily to small businesses, the SEMA Show has several cost-saving programs designed to help exhibitors maximize the return on their investment.

“We recognize the investment exhibitors are making by participating at the SEMA Show,” said MacGillivray. “We are committed to working with exhibitors to help them meet their goals.”

Among the programs available to exhibitors is the New Products Showcase. All exhibitors are able to submit a product into the showcase at no cost. That product receives increased exposure by being included in a high-profile, high-traffic area of the Show floor, and it is professionally photographed and available to media outlets throughout the world.

Many exhibitors also qualify to receive free material handling, and all exhibitors benefit from booth prices that have remained the same for six consecutive years.

	2010 SEMA Show organizers plan to move the Paint, Body & Equipment section to a larger, more prominent area.

As SEMA Show attendees increasingly express interest in the paint and body market, organizers are enhancing features at the 2010 SEMA Show targeted to this segment of the industry. The Paint, Body & Equipment (PBE) area of the upcoming event will be larger and in a more prominent location than it was in 2009, and educational sessions specific to the paint and body market will be offered during the 2010 SEMA Show, November 2–5, in Las Vegas.

"We're constantly adapting to changes in the industry," notes Chris Kersting, SEMA president and CEO. "We challenge ourselves to deliver high value to both exhibitors and attendees, all with the goal of providing them with a Show that is current and relevant."

While the PBE floor section was formally introduced in 2009, Show organizers had seen an increase in the product category for many years. More than 50 manufacturers responded by exhibiting in last year's section located in North Hall. Based on recent inquiries and requests, organizers are anticipating that the area will be larger in 2010 and are moving it to a more prominent area, still in North Hall.

Organizers are also working with the Society of Collision and Repair Specialists (SCRS) and Collision Industry Conference (CIC), both of whom are hosting meetings for their groups in Las Vegas during the week of the SEMA Show.

"Through ongoing discussions with our membership, it is obvious that there is a strong desire to participate, and have representation, in this event,” said SCRS Chairman Barry Dorn. “Partnering with SEMA to significantly enhance the offerings available to our industry makes a lot of sense, and we are ecstatic to build upon what is shaping out to be a very strong foundation between SCRS and the SEMA Show."

The SCRS is collaborating closely with SEMA to develop targeted educational seminars at the SEMA Show.

"We're looking forward to working with the SCRS in developing a valuable and relevant educational program," said SEMA Vice President of Marketing and Member Services Tom Myroniak. Typically featuring 50–60 sessions throughout the week, the educational program is one of the cornerstones of the annual trade-only event.

"As more and more attendees at the SEMA Show become interested in the paint and body market, it is becoming increasingly more important to incorporate seminars targeted specifically to this audience," said Myroniak. "Working with the SCRS will be instrumental in helping us deliver value to this growing group."

Manufacturers interested in exhibiting at the SEMA Show will be able to access space rental agreements in mid-March. Attendee registration for the event opens in May. Updated information is available at www.SEMAShow.com.
