Semashow.Com Provides Opportunity to "Plan Your Work" Before "Working Your Plan" in Las Vegas
The SEMA Show's newly
redesigned website, www.SEMAshow.com, allows exhibitor personnel to access pertinent dates and times, the
floor plan, regulations, and update their own exhibit data,
according to Peter
MacGillivray, SEMA vice president of sales and marketing.
"Our comprehensive site provides everything an exhibitor or
an attendee needs to know before he or she gets to Las
Vegas," said MacGillivray.
For the attendees, the Show website provides the opportunity
to register online for $10 (discounted from $50) until
Friday, Sept. 27, and a personal online briefcase which helps
people plan their show itinerary and map their route through
the four-day show.
The Show's floor plan shows the locations
of the approximately 1,400 exhibits in the newly expanded Las
Vegas Convention Center. Information about travel and
accommodations is available to all parties visiting the site.
SEMA, the Specialty Equipment Market Association, designed
the site so that automotive aftermarket industry
professionals could access the information from anywhere in
the world at any time of the day or night to suit their
personal needs, MacGillivray said. The website has a complete
schedule of all events, including the nearly four-dozen
educational programs scheduled around the SEMA Show hours.
www.SEMAshow.com also has some initial information about the
2003 SEMA Show for exhibitors. The space selection for the
2003 SEMA Show, scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 4 through Friday,
Nov. 7, will be held during the 2002 Show this November for
those companies who have reserved 2003 space. Potential
exhibitors can download the application for 2003 SEMA Show
space, as well as the 2003 show regulations.
www.SEMAshow.com also links to other SEMA sites, including
SEMA's consumer website, www.enjoythedrive.com
The 2002 SEMA Show will be held from Tuesday, Nov. 5 -
Friday, Nov. 8, in the Las Vegas Convention Center. Show
hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, and 9
