Ha. I'm jealous. I group of dudes from my office just left, out the door, not 10 minutes ago... our company's marketing division, off to SEMA.

All expenses paid for, and a big ol' bump to the paycheck for their "duty" to attend.

And I get to stay in the office.

What company do you work for?

I just got off the phone with someone who said he can get me in so I'm good.

Never been.Looking forward to going and checking out all the new goodies.

I went last year and yes it was a lot of fun. Even if you don't have tickets there are a lot of activities going on outside the convention center. Make sure you catch the parade on Friday night. Enjoy!!!!!!

Not to sound bitter....., but here goes: SEMA has totally gone the way of the globe, and that's commercial. It used to be about new products and ideas. Now it's turned into a stupid carshow circus. Votes on best build!? Anybody see that absolutely stupid Jeep a couple years ago with DIFFERENTIAL GEARS around the headlights!!! What happened to putting new stuff onto the car and bringing it to the consumer? I have watched SEMA deteriorate on Speed then Velocity to the joke it is today. Mark my words, it will just be a matter of time before the general public are allowed in at a fee. Money is all anybody cares about today. The more, the better.

GREED.

Agreed with 90% of your post.
Been going for years (I work a booth every year). They won't let public in. The CEO shared at a meeting that when asked 25% of vendors said they wouldn't attend if they let the public in. Itsy belief that eventually the SEMA ignited will "overlap" a certain portion of the show and the gen public will get a small sample of the show. It's already crowded enough, if general public was let in the fire Marshall would have to shut it down.

Yah don't let the public in who buy the the new products the vendors are putting on display to sell. They just might increase their sales and do a lot more business. You wouldn't want that to ever happen.

Either hold the show longer or find a bigger place to have it.

Sigh... This is why the industry has problems.
Manufacturers (majority of them) do NOT sell to the public. You are an end user, not their customer. Manufacturers typically only sell to retailers and distributors who also are here. Letting in the public would actually hurt sales... You would have an explosion of people attend (300k right now industry only). Manufacturers would not be able to connect with vendors to get products out there or demo the cool new stuff. It would have an adverse effect from the over population. Look at the big picture.

Googled it. Vegas is #3 with 2mil exhibition space. Not counting the 3mil in meeting rooms. Count both and Vegas is number one. SEMA is funded by large parts makers, buyers, and related industry who need the meeting space. Technically there is no where larger that meets the needs.
