SEMA is expanding the SEMA Show's powersports presence by launching a dedicated Powersports/Side-by-Side (SxS)/Lifestyle section at the 2026 SEMA Show, held November 3-6 in Las Vegas. This strategic expansion creates a unified home for the rapidly growing intersection of the automotive and powersports communities.
 

The initiative is a direct response to clear market demand and the evolving habits of the modern enthusiast. SEMA research confirms that the crossover between these worlds is seamless: the vast majority of enthusiasts do not limit themselves to a single vehicle type, often owning a combination of modified trucks, SUVs and various recreational powersports vehicles.
 

"This expansion is a bold step forward in SEMA's mission to serve the entire enthusiast ecosystem," said SEMA Vice President of Events Tom Gattuso. "Powersports has always been an integral part of SEMA's DNA, and we are now providing this community with the dedicated platform it deserves. By integrating powersports and related lifestyle products into our Show floor, we are creating a more powerful, unified resource for the aftermarket. This move celebrates the natural synergy between automotive and outdoor recreation, ensuring our members have the advocacy, resources and product discovery platform they need to thrive in a modern, evolving market."

A Dynamic Activation in the West Hall 

The Powersports/SxS/Lifestyle section will be anchored in the West Hall, utilizing a layout designed for long-term growth. The location offers unique access to adjacent parking lots for dynamic outdoor activations and vehicle demonstrations.
 

The Show floor will undergo an evolution to group Trucks, Off-Road and Powersports together, reflecting the "total package" approach enthusiasts take toward their adventure builds. The section will highlight a diverse range of categories, including:
 

• Motorcycles and dirt bikes
• Side-by-Sides
• Trailers and tow vehicles
• Related adventure lifestyle gear and accessories

New and returning manufacturers are already showing excitement for the expanded section.

"We're proud to represent KYT Helmets at SEMA 2026," said TJ Jira, CEO of KYT Americas. "We believe it's an opportunity to elevate powersports and bring more visibility to our brand in the market."
 

An Integrated Attendee Experience
 

For attendees, the new layout enhances business opportunities by placing complementary products in a single, high-energy destination.
 

"Attendees can expect an immersive and highly interactive experience that mirrors how they actually live and work," said SEMA Trade Show Director Andy Tompkins. "By grouping powersports and lifestyle gear alongside our world-class truck and off-road sections, we are providing an unmatched opportunity to see the latest in the adventure market."

Market-Aligned Synergy

SEMA's membership is already a powerhouse in the powersports sector. According to SEMA Research, 60% of specialty-equipment manufacturers already produce products for at least one type of powersports or recreational vehicle, while 47% of retailers and installers sell to these segments.

Beyond the Show floor, SEMA offers members tools to modernize their businesses, including data resources, technical services and a powerful unified voice to protect the industry's future. Through the acquisition of the Off-Road Business Association (ORBA), SEMA has strengthened its presence in Washington, D.C., and Sacramento, California, to fight for land-use protection and motorized recreation access--issues that are critical to the survival of the powersports industry.

The new section allows the entire ecosystem to gather, learn about the latest products, take part in cutting-edge education to grow businesses and careers, and unite to solve opportunities and challenges facing the powersports marketplace.

Mojave Desert, Nevada.

Last year, SEMA announced its acquisition of the Off-Road Business Association (ORBA), an organization dedicated to representing businesses and professionals in the off-road and powersports industries, including motorcycles, ATVs, side-by-sides and snowmobiles. Ever since, SEMA and ORBA have been working harmoniously to advocate for policies that protect motorized access to roads and trails on government-owned lands. Below are the latest policy updates on areas of key interest to the motorized recreation community.

Western Mojave Faces 2,200-Mile OHV Closure; Off-Road Community Pushes Back

Off-road advocates push back hard on possible closures with the help of SEMA and ORBA.

SEMA and ORBA, along with a broad coalition of stakeholders, issued a statement decrying a federal court ruling that will result in the closure of approximately 2,200 miles of designated OHV routes across the Western Mohave planning area. Click here to read it. This is a ruling that, if upheld, would result in a significant loss of motorized access for families, recreationists, and public lands enthusiasts from across California and throughout the United States.

The letter, sent under the Ecologic Partners Coalition banner, highlights not only the consequences of the closures but also the order's reliance on flawed assumptions about desert tortoise mortality. The coalition, which is comprised of SEMA, ORBA, American Sand Association and AMA District 37, points to decades of scientific evidence that the court failed to take into account, specifically how predator subsidy effects, disease dynamics, and landscape-scale habitat pressures from utility-scale renewable energy projects and other industrial development are the primary and most significant contributors to desert tortoise population trends.

The letter also reaffirms the significant role the off-road community plays in environmental stewardship and protection through volunteer trail maintenance, habitat restoration projects, educational programs and conservation initiatives designed to protect sensitive species while maintaining responsible public access. 

The Fight for Moab's Trails: Interior to Review ORBA-led Appeal for Reopening Trails

BLM previously closed 300+ miles; 150 miles could reopen with SEMA and ORBA support.
 

In a positive development, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) has formally taken jurisdiction over ORBA's appeal of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) 2023 Labyrinth Rims/Gemini Bridges Travel Management Plan, which closed down more than 300 miles of trails to motorized vehicles near Moab, Utah.

• In 2025, the BLM proposed to reopen nearly 150 miles of trails in Labyrinth Rims/Gemini Bridges. SEMA and ORBA supported this action (read SEMA's official comment here).

Previously, ORBA's appeal of the plan was assigned to the IBLA. This is an important step forward and is consistent with the Interior Department's efforts to restore trail access at Labyrinth/Gemini Bridges.

The SEMA Businesswomen's Network (SBN) has named April Wong, marketing specialist at Unicorn Tire, as the network's newest #SheIsSEMA spotlight member. Get to know Wong in her interview with SEMA News below. 
 

SEMA News: How many years have you been with your current company and what do you enjoy most about working there? 

April Wong: I've been with my current company for nearly three years, and what I enjoy most is the team around me. They make me feel like family. Working in marketing allows me to juggle many different tasks, so every day is unique. I love that my role lets me handle exciting projects, from social media and content creation to event planning, sponsorships and even modeling at events, which makes the work both dynamic and fun.

SN: What is the most challenging part of running your business or job? 

AW: The biggest challenge is managing the sheer variety of projects that come my way. From surprise tasks to event modeling, e-commerce, social media campaigns, builds, content, graphic design and coordinating with sponsors and vendors. At times, it can feel overwhelming, but navigating these challenges has helped me sharpen my organizational skills, prioritize effectively and stay adaptable under pressure.

SN: How many years have you been in the industry and what was your first industry job? 

AW: I'm going on three years in the industry, and this is my first industry role. It's been an incredible learning experience, allowing me to grow professionally while contributing to the company's marketing and branding initiatives.

SN: What are three qualities that got you to where you are today? 

AW: Adaptability, ability to work well under pressure and empathy have been crucial in my career. Adaptability allows me to pivot quickly when unexpected projects or challenges arise. Working well under pressure ensures I can deliver high-quality results even in fast-paced environments. Empathy helps me understand colleagues, clients and audiences, fostering stronger relationships and collaboration both personally and professionally.
 

SN: Being a woman in the industry, what have been your biggest challenges and accomplishments? 

AW: Being a woman in the automotive and motorsports industry can be challenging, especially when it comes to breaking through stereotypes and showing that you can handle the work just as well as anyone else. One thing I'm really proud of is building our whole sponsor program from the ground up. I coordinated partnerships, managed communications and made sure everything lined up with our marketing goals. Seeing it all come together successfully has been such a rewarding experience and really shows why I love being in this industry.
 

SN: Who are your role models or mentors in the industry? 

AW: My biggest role model is the owner of our company. She's a true girl boss and the epitome of breaking through stereotypes in this industry. Watching how she leads, makes decisions and handles challenges has been so inspiring. She's shown me what's possible and encouraged me to trust myself, take ownership of projects and push myself to grow every day.
 

SN: What is the best career advice you have received? 

AW: "Adaptability is your greatest asset." This advice has shaped both my career and personal life. In marketing, especially in the tire industry, strategies, trends and consumer behaviors are constantly shifting. Being adaptable has allowed me to pivot when needed, stay ahead of trends and take on challenges with confidence. Personally, it's taught me to embrace change rather than fear it, leading to growth in all areas of my life.
 

SN: Have you always wanted to work in the automotive industry? What keeps you here? 

AW: I honestly didn't know where I was going to end up. I've always loved makeup and fashion, but cars have been a passion too. I used to own a Miata and would go to car shows with friends all the time. What keeps me in this industry is how fun and laid-back it can be, but also how hype it is. The adrenaline. The energy. The events. I love being part of that excitement and the creative, fast-paced environment.
 

SN: Who was the most influential person on your career/goals? 

AW: The most influential person in my career has been my mom. She immigrated here from China, and knowing the sacrifices she made pushes me to chase the opportunities she wanted but never had. She's always supported me, encouraged me to follow my passions and taught me to work hard and stay confident. Her guidance has shaped not only my career but also how I approach challenges and opportunities in life.

Fill out a #SheIsSEMA spotlight form to submit a self-nomination or nominate a colleague and highlight how you or she is contributing to the specialty-equipment industry.

Are you passionate about trail sustainability for the truck and off-road industry? Get ready to roll up your sleeves.
 

The SEMA Truck & Off-Road Alliance (TORA) is seeking volunteers for a hands-on stewardship project along the first two miles of the Kane Creek Safari Route during Easter Jeep Safari 2026 in Moab, Utah. Led by SEMA and Tread Lightly!, in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), TORA and Off-Road Business Association (ORBA), the project will take place Tuesday, March 31, from 9:00 a.m. to approximately 2:00 p.m. MDT.
 

How Your Help Protects Land Use

The working project invites TORA and industry members to take part in protecting trail access and supporting responsible recreation during one of the off-road community's most recognized annual gatherings.
 

Volunteers will work alongside BLM staff to install buck-and-rail fencing at designated locations to protect sensitive resources, clearly define the travel route, and help ensure long-term motorized access. The project reinforces a shared commitment to keeping trails open and sustainable for future generations.
 

Participants will meet at 9:00 a.m. at a staging location near Kane Creek Road and depart at 9:30 a.m. for the Safari Route trailhead. The project is expected to conclude on or before 2:00 p.m.; however, if approximately 40 volunteers are in attendance, organizers anticipate finishing closer to 12:30 p.m.

This is a working project, and volunteers should come prepared for light to moderate physical labor, including post setting, rail placement and site cleanup. Lunch will be provided by TORA.
 

To ensure that through-traffic access is not blocked, participation will be limited to 15 vehicles on the trail. Volunteers are encouraged to carpool or shuttle as needed. Parking will be available near the trailhead for those who arrive in additional vehicles and can join others traveling onto the trail.
 

The stewardship project is free to attend; however, volunteer RSVP is required.
 

RSVP today to secure your spot and support the long-term sustainability of the trails that power the off-road industry.
