The largest of the SEMA events held annually during the first week of November is the SEMA Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada in conjunction with the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week.[1][2] As part of this event, SEMA and other automotive aftermarket trade groups make up one of the single largest events on the Las Vegas calendar.[3] This auto show is not open to the public. Registration as media, manufacturer, buyer or exhibitor is required.[4]
On August 5, 2020, SEMA announced that its 2020 show would be cancelled for the first time in the show's history, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
