SEMA Show Exhibitors Prepare to Select Booth Space

The Priority Booth Space Selection Process will include 300 first-time exhibitors, growing international presence, and larger booth spaces at the Oct. 31-Nov. 3 event in Las Vegas

DIAMOND BAR, CA – April 13, 2023 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – With the SEMA Show priority booth deadline passed, SEMA Show exhibitors are investing in the opportunity to showcase future trends and connect at the world’s premier automotive trade event with larger booth spaces, more new products, years of pent-up demand, and interactive displays.

Nearly 2,000 exhibitors submitted completed applications before the April 3 deadline and are now preparing to select their booth space during next month’s SEMA Show Priority Booth Space Selection Process. This unique process literally builds the SEMA Show that will shape the future of the automotive aftermarket for years to come. Exhibitors confirmed to participate at the event on Oct. 31-Nov. 3 in Las Vegas include an uptick from international companies, sparked largely by lifted travel restrictions, as well as more than 300 new companies that will be exhibiting at the event for the first time.

“Building off the momentum from the 2021 and 2022 SEMA Shows, which were amongst the country’s highest attended trade shows, the 2023 event is evolving and growing – featuring lots of exciting activities and exhibitors that we haven’t seen in recent years,” said Tom Gattuso, SEMA VP of Events. “Exhibitors have noteworthy stories and new products to share, and they are coming in with plans to educate, entertain, and engage buyers from around the world.”

Gattuso notes that because companies have mostly been operating remotely during the past few years, exhibitors are leveraging the opportunity to connect in person at the SEMA Show. Attendees can expect to see larger booths with more interactive displays and attractions. In-person education seminars, celebrity appearances, and product demonstrations are also expected to be popular at the 2023 SEMA Show.

“Businesses have discovered that while they can get a lot done virtually, the desire to gather is innate to the human experience, and there is no replacement for the interactive, tactile experience the SEMA Show offers and the value of connecting face-to-face,” said Gattuso.
