Default SEMA: Who else is going?

Feel free to post here or shoot me PM.

Would be good to get some GT3 crowd drinks in.

I used to go every year, but the show has really fallen off the last 3 years, havent gone the last 2. This year is suppose to be good, the most exhibitors they have had in a long time. So hopefully that turns things around.

I'd love to go as I've never been.

Is it open to the public?

When is it?

Disagree for purposes of seeing all the major players in the industry and Aapex has all the tier 2 and 3 suppliers as well

For people in the industry it's an important event, once you filter through the 38DD (friend of mine growing up used to run marketing for an off-road parts company... before SEMA every year and other events he would, literally go down to the beach in Newport and clubs in the area to solicit booth talent... his wife was never too happy about this part of his job, he rather enjoyed it) and Neon.

If you're a shop wanting to see all the latest from the top manufactures in one place, this is the place to go. You can do your marketing and product offering planning in a week what could take months to do getting sales reps to come in one at a time.

Personally industry conferences bore me (and being in Tech I attend many)

SEMA has a lot to offer to a car nut. It's a must attend event IMO, at least once. If you're not in the industry, going every year makes no sense of course. But it's one of those things that are good to see to appreciate all the products available for our hobby.
