Reaching International Markets [1]
The SEMA Global Media Awards program brings international exposure to SEMA Show exhibitors who participate in the New Products Showcase. As part of the program, international journalists are invited to select products that they feel would have a large appeal in their home countries, and the chosen companies are recognized with Global Media Awards. The publications below helped paint a picture of the 2017 program by covering some of the companies that won awards at last year’s SEMA Show.

Some legislative initiatives can have a huge effect on the automotive aftermarket, impacting the way products are made, distributed and marketed. Because of those risks, SEMA’s government affairs department—which also includes the SEMA Action Network and the SEMA Political Action Committee—was created to continually fight unjust legislation that hinders the association’s members and the aftermarket industry as a whole. The publications below covered some of SEMA’s recent efforts to stamp out legislative threats.
One of SEMA’s missions is to provide the automotive aftermarket with outstanding professional development and training resources. Through various programs, such as the SEMA Young Executives Network, SEMA Launch Pad and SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund, the association is helping to develop the industry’s next generation of leaders and innovators. To learn more about the results of some of these programs and initiatives, read the articles by the publications below.
