Has anyone been or is going to the SEMA Opinion Leader Program? I got an email stating that I was selected to go.



Here's an excerpt from the email:

Congratulations! We would like to extend an invitation to join us at the 2011 SEMA Show as a part of the Opinion Leader Program! The program will take place on Thursday, November 3rd. We hope that you will be able to join us.

On Monday, September 19th, you will receive a questionnaire that also serves as your RSVP for the program. YOU MUST fill out that questionnaire by Thursday September 22nd in order to remain eligible. If you do not, we will assume that you do not want to attend or are unable to make it, and therefore you will NOT receive a badge in the mail. So please be sure to fill it out! Please do not respond to this email as an RSVP. It will not count as a confirmation of your attendance.
As an added bonus, you will have the opportunity to return on Friday, November 4th to explore the Show on your own. However, you MUST pick up your badge holder on Thursday morning and participate in the program in order to enter the Show on Friday. No badge holder will be given out after 12 noon on Thursday November 3rd. The SEMA Show is trade only, and you are being given a unique opportunity to see something that other automotive enthusiasts can only read about in magazines or see on television.

If there is someone you would like to share your experience with, you may bring a guest. Each of you will be limited to 1 guest, no exceptions, and they must be at least 18 yrs old. If you want to invite a guest to join you, YOU MUST include their information in the above mentioned questionnaire that you will receive. Please include the information only in the questionnaire; do not send us an email with the guest information. Once you have completed the questionnaire confirming your attendance, you will not be allowed to add a guest later.

After we have confirmation that you will attend, your badge will be processed and mailed out. Along with your badge, you will receive some additional information, including some maps of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Although you will receive your badge in the mail, you will need to pick up your badge holder at Registration, located in South Hall on Thursday, November 3rd. This is very important. You need this badge holder in order to enter the Show. The badge alone is not enough to be admitted on the Show floor.

So I fill out the questionnaire and I'm good to go!

I'm in too! I'm from the Mazdaspeed forums. I was google searching to see if my letter was legit. I far as I can tell it is and I'll make my flight arrangements as soon as I get my badge in the mail.
