AAPEX and the SEMA Show are business-to-business trade events. To be approved to attend, you just need to verify that your company is active in the automotive aftermarket, and that you are a current owner / employee. Use of a business email domain (matching your company name) in the registration process is preferred and will help us verify your role in the industry.
When Show Management* scans your badge, your personal information is processed pursuant to Show Management's legitimate interest in tracking attendance, traffic flow, and providing a better Show. To withdraw consent, contact Show Management* (see below). By allowing exhibitors to scan your badge, you consent to Show Management* sharing your registration information with them, and they may then contact you regarding their goods or services. Please review their privacy policies for additional information.
No. Badges CANNOT be reproduced, transferred or resold. All AAPEX and SEMA Show attendees and exhibiting personnel must be prepared to provide a matching government-issued photo ID upon request. Show Management reserves the right to refuse admission and revoke your badge at any time. If it is discovered you are allowing someone else to use your badge, that person will be escorted from the Show floor and both of you may not be allowed to attend a future Show.
Badges must always be worn in the AAPEX and the SEMA Show areas.
No. There are no guest or complimentary passes, tickets, and/or badges for the SEMA Show. Other than a legal spouse, everyone must register and be approved to receive a badge.
