Concerns regarding COVID-19 and availability of event facilities/services have led to the cancellation of the 2020 SEMA Show.

Though event organizers and industry members have been working hard to put on the SEMA Show this November, the uncertainty of everything happening right now made it inadvisable to continue with the event. According to recent SEMA Show survey results, however, there is an interest in a possible virtual event with related live elements. SEMA plans to work with industry members to further gauge interest levels on alternative show options.  

“The SEMA Show is committed to furthering businesses in the automotive specialty equipment market, and to providing manufacturers and buyers with the best opportunity to connect, promote new products, and discover new trends,” said Chris Kersting, SEMA president and CEO. “We appreciate the spirit, hard work, and innovation our industry puts into the SEMA Show each year. While we are disappointed circumstances prevent us from hosting the show in November, we look forward to getting everyone together in 2021 for another outstanding event.”         

SEMA Show exhibitor booth deposits and attendee registration fees will be fully refunded.
