Once again, the annual SEMA Cruise was a crowd favorite, helping exhibitors, builders, Vegas locals and enthusiasts get one last look at the vehicles that dominated the 2013 SEMA Show. The SEMA Cruise is the only part of the Show that is open to consumers.

The Press Conference Schedule for the 2013 SEMA Show is now available.

Here is just a sample of recent comments about the 2012 SEMA Show as seen on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.  

SEMA—along with its official housing bureau, Travel Planners—has negotiated discounted hotel rates with several properties for this year's SEMA Show that have not been in the official block in a long time.

With more than 2,000 exhibitors already confirmed, attendees are encouraged to visit the online floorplan and identify the companies they want to connect with during Show week (October 30–November 2).

With the 2012 SEMA Show mere months away, first-time exhibitors (and maybe a few returnees, as well) may be scratching their heads over booth essentials—the fixtures and services that can make or break their return on investment.

Visit the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center and find the newest technology in lifts, grinders, jacks, shop tools, equipment and uniforms.
