Show organisers say companies are committing to the 2023 show earlier than previous years

Automotive specialty equipment manufacturers are gearing up to exhibit at the 2023 SEMA Show, taking place from the 31st of October to the 3rd of November in Las Vegas.
The SEMA Show is a trade show produced by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), a nonprofit trade association founded in 1963.
Since the first SEMA Show debuted in 1967, the annual event has served as the leading venue bringing together manufacturers and buyers within the automotive specialty equipment industry.
With an eagerness to connect with buyers in person to create brand awareness, introduce new products, develop relationships, and tell their company stories, organisers say exhibitors are signing up earlier than they have in previous years, demonstrating strong momentum for this year’s show.
Exhibitor commitments reportedly continue to come in at a constant rate, with organisers stating the 2023 SEMA Show is expected to grow to more than 2,000 exhibiting companies.
The running list on www.semashow.com/participating-manufacturers shows major automakers, iconic aftermarket brands, and new, first-time exhibitors confirmed for the 2023 SEMA Show.
“The early commitment from exhibitors is a positive sign that companies are excited to reconnect face to face,” SEMA Vice President of Events, Tom Gattuso, said.
“It is also a sign that companies are confident that they will have new products and stories to share.”
Since the pandemic hit in 2020, the industry has gathered at the SEMA Show, making the annual event the go-to place for connecting with colleagues.
In 2021 and 2022 the SEMA Show has been amongst the country’s highest attended trade shows, and momentum has increased as travel restrictions are lifted and businesses discover limitations of doing business virtually.
“Virtual meetings are great, but you can’t smell the burning rubber over a Zoom call,” Tom said.
Booth space applications – available at www.semashow.com/exhibitor – are open to companies that manufacture products that enhance a vehicle’s performance, styling, safety, or convenience.
Registration for industry professionals to attend the four-day SEMA Show opens on May 1 at the early-bird rate until late June.
