Exhibitor Products
Exhibitors of the 2018 SEMA Show can expand their reach, product exposure and Show-floor presence by offering products to builders through the Products for Project-Vehicle Builders list.

Exhibitors of the 2018 SEMA Show are invited to expand their reach, product exposure and Show-floor presence by offering products to builders through the Products for Project-Vehicle Builders list. The list connects manufacturers with builders looking to create or complete a vehicle project.

The list, which will be updated each week in SEMA eNews, features product offers and contact information provided by confirmed SEMA Show exhibitors. Builders interested in obtaining a product use the information to contact exhibitors directly. With each project vehicle required to be supported by a current 2018 SEMA Show exhibitor, all product-placement decisions, negotiations and agreements are the responsibility of the exhibiting manufacturer and the builder.

The list is open to exhibitors of the 2018 SEMA Show only. To be included in the list, complete the form.

Exhibitors: Each submission will appear on a first-come, first-served basis. As participation increases, all submissions will also be archived on www.SEMAShow.com.

Note: For verification purposes, the Project-Vehicle Builders form must be used to participate in the program; email submissions will not be included in the list. Participation in the list does not guarantee product or vehicle placement at the 2018 SEMA Show.

SEMA and other Outdoor Recreation Roundtable (ORR) member organizations welcomed a federal government final report documenting the significant economic impact of the outdoor recreation economy. The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) found that the outdoor recreation industry contributed $412 billion to the nation’s economy in 2016 (the last available year of data), which represented 2.2% of U.S. Gross Domestic Product. Of note, motorized recreation and motorcycling accounted for more than $20 billion in economic activity.

For SEMA members, the range of products associated with outdoor recreation goes beyond the four-wheel drives, ATVs and UTVs often linked with off-roading. It includes tires, wheels, suspension, tuning and myriad other products for highway vehicles and for towing trailers, boats and other vehicles to their destinations. Given the importance of the off-road market, SEMA joined the ORR, which is comprised of more than 20 industry associations, representing off-roading, camping, fishing, boating, hiking, archery and other sports. The group provides a unified voice for outdoor recreation and is committed to pursuing federal policy reforms for rebuilding the nation’s recreation-related infrastructure and improving visitor experiences on our nation’s public lands.

The BEA report is a milestone for the outdoor recreation industry, which has long called for its sector to be formally included in government economic analysis. To mark the announcement, ORR held a Capitol Hill briefing with key federal officials, including U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, BEA Director Brian Moyer and U.S. Department of Interior Senior Advisor Rick May.
