News and updates from SEMA's councils and committees.

Masters Entertainment Group, Inc. (MEG) has announced its newest television series “Motorhead Garage” featuring Sam Memmolo and Dave Bowman, formerly of “Shadetree Mechanic” and “Two Guys Garage.”

With the SEMA Show less than three months away, exhibitors are spending time planning displays, prepping products and projects, marketing to potential customers and much more. With planning in full swing, exhibitors should not overlook the opportunities to trim down Show expenses by taking advantage of discount pricing and available Show services. For example, one of the services currently in place for the Show is the availability of shuttle buses that travel to and from the Las Vegas Convention Center, helping Showgoers avoid lengthy cab lines and inflated cab fares.

Matchmaking Program, Online Show Directory and Show Planner are just a few of the resources SEMA Show organizers have developed to maximize the Show experience for exhibitors and buyers.

SEMA Show attendees can use My Show Planner to map out meetings and events before arriving in Las Vegas, and maximize their time on the floor. 

Every SEMA Show exhibitor is offered a free listing in the Show Directory, one of the most important resources for promoting your presence on the showfloor.
