SEMA Ignited Captures Media Attention
For nearly 50 years, the annual SEMA Show has served as the premier gathering for the automotive industry. When SEMA Ignited debuted in 2014, it gave consumers a chance to join in the excitement at the official SEMA Show after-party.
With thousands of consumers and automotive enthusiasts in attendance, the 2015 SEMA Ignited made news. The event gave consumers a chance to get up close to one-of-a-kind vehicle builds, meet celebrities and bear witness as the winner of the SEMA Battle of the Builders competition was announced.
Take a look at the articles below that focused on SEMA Ignited. For more coverage, tune in to a one-hour TV special scheduled to premiere on the Velocity Network on February 1.
