WELCOME TO THE 2024 SEMA SHOW
"THE REAL EXCITEMENT OF THE WEEK IS THE SEMA SHOW ITSELF AND ITS FOCUS ON OUR INDUSTRY'S GROWTH AND FUTURE…"
The excitement is building for the 2024 SEMA Show, set to take place November 5-8 at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC). As of press time, we can report that we're on track to host more than 2,400 exhibitors— more than 400 of them first-timers—and more than 160,000 attendees, including media representatives, content creators and other industry leaders.
The global base of our audience provides a unique chance to connect with peers from more than 140 countries and regions to share innovations, education and industry opportunities. As a can't-miss event for advancing your business, discovering new ideas and emerging technologies, networking and strengthening business contacts, and taking your career from good to great, this year's event will feature significant changes, mirroring our fast-evolving industry.
We are thrilled to announce our first-ever Industry Night @ SEMA featuring live performances by the Goo Goo Dolls, O.A.R and Reignwolf, set for Tuesday, November 5, on the LVCC campus. This separately ticketed event is designed to bring our community together in a festival atmosphere featuring headline music, entertainment, food and fun.
In addition, our separately ticketed, consumer-facing SEMA Fest event will return Friday, November 8, also on the LVCC grounds. A celebration of car culture and lifestyle, SEMA Fest will also boast headline musical entertainment featuring Cage the Elephant, Sublime, Fitz & the Tantrums and Petey, drifting and other crowd-thrilling activities to stoke car enthusiasm among the general public.
But the real highpoint of the week is the Show itself and its focus on our industry's growth and future. Our FutureTech Studio, for one, will showcase emerging opportunities in alternative vehicle propulsion, advancements in internal-combustion design and performance, alternative fuels and modifications for ADAS-equipped vehicles. Plus, you'll see this emphasis on innovation throughout the LVCC, helping you to grasp, navigate and leverage the trends and innovations reshaping our industry.
You'll also encounter world-class educational opportunities, with numerous seminar offerings on a crucial range of business, career and industry topics. These sessions can enhance your business, career and life, offering unique insights and connections with other industry professionals and experts.
Meanwhile, along with our Show's evolution, our LVCC venue is also undergoing an expansion—a transformation that promises many new opportunities for our Show participants. Plus, we are further pleased to announce that this year's SEMA Show will be live-streamed, allowing enthusiasts who cannot attend in person to experience the event, broadening our community and attracting more attendees to future Shows. The live stream will be accessible through YouTube and Meta.
These are just a few glimpses of things to come. We can't wait to see you in Las Vegas!
