The electric atmosphere and vibrant nightlife draw millions of visitors each year to the Las Vegas strip. As tourists flood the streets of Las Vegas to visit its world-famous shows and attractions, many professionals also gather at trade and industry events. Annually, Las Vegas hosts nearly 24,000 meetings and conventions, making it the number one trade show destination in North America. With three of North America’s top ten largest convention centers located in Las Vegas, it is the perfect city to host major industry events.
Among Las Vegas’s largest trade shows is the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week, also known as the SEMA Show. Put on by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), this event bills itself as the top tradeshow for auto equipment manufacturers and more traditional auto industry players. For over 50 years, this event has showcased thousands of product innovations showing off the latest custom vehicle trends from every corner of the automotive aftermarket industry.
Over the course of this event, 160,000 individuals will visit booths, walk exposition halls, and attend educational seminars. There will be 2,400 exhibiting companies from over 140 different countries at the SEMA show. Each company is a major automaker or leading aftermarket manufacturer. Their offerings will include “automotive accessories that enhance the performance, styling, comfort, convenience, and safety of cars, trucks, and SUVs.”
On Tuesday, October 31, 2023, the SEMA show will kick off at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This event will continue each of the following days from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., culminating on Friday, November 3, 2023, at 4:00 p.m. As one of Las Vegas’s top trade shows, this event promises to be beneficial for businesses in the automotive industry.
