Nearly 2,000 exhibitors are confirmed to participate in the SEMA Show Priority Booth Selection Process taking place later this month – a 6% increase over the number of companies that participated in the process in 2012.

"With the increased commitment exhibitors are demonstrating earlier in the year, it’s apparent the SEMA Show provides unmatched brand-building visibility and sales exposure in one venue," said Peter MacGillivray, SEMA vice president of events and communications.

Through programs and features such as the New Products Showcase, product demonstrations and sectionalized floor plan, SEMA exhibitors are able to connect with the most relevant buyers, he added.

"The earlier a company signs up, the more likely they are to take part in all the added-value programs we have available," MacGillivray said. "We’ve seen direct connections between the amount of planning a company does to the level of success they achieve."

Companies may still sign up to exhibit at the 2013 SEMA Show at www.semashow.com/buyabooth. Attendee registration will be available online in early May. The event takes place Nov. 5-8, in Las Vegas.
