The SEMA Show offers not only displays and in-depth appraisals of the latest automotive specialty-equipment products, but also a look at those products installed on some of the finest examples of virtually every type of vehicle available in the market today. Participating in the SEMA Show Feature Vehicle Program provides exhibitors with additional exposure at the Show and offers media and buyers a real-world example at how specialty-equipment enhances the look and functionality of any vehicle.

One of the primary reasons that buyers and media attend the SEMA Show is to learn what’s new and to make contacts for future business. Ideas Alive: Featuring the New Products Showcase, is a leading destination on both counts. Newly located at the east end of upper South Hall, Ideas Alive is a 25,000-sq.-ft. flurry of activity from 8:00 a.m. to the close of the hall every day of the Show featuring the best of the best and the newest of the new.

The percentage of companies exhibiting in the Business Services section has increased by 34% when compared with 2010.

Technology is integral to the specialty-equipment market as well as to the original-equipment manufacturers. From suspension to powertrains, and safety to infotainment, technology is the future of the automobile.

SEMA Show exhibitors can gain additional exposure for their products at the SEMA Show by taking advantage of the Featured Product category in the Show's New Products Showcase. Companies can enter any product—new or otherwise—as a Featured Product to display in the showcase. For added value, whether an entry is a New Product or a Featured Product, the first entry is free.
