On July 13, 2012, SEMA members joined with SEMA staff and thousands of enthusiasts to celebrate the third annual Collector Car Appreciation Day (CCAD). Nearly 200 official events were held in the United States, Canada and Australia to commemorate the day, designated by a SEMA-requested U.S. Senate Resolution 452 sponsored by Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) and Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC). 

SEMA will once again offer the Manufacturer Kiosk Program in the Powersports & Utility Vehicles section of the 2012 SEMA Show. The kiosk program is only open to manufacturers of powersports products who are already exhibiting in one of the SEMA Show's 11 other sections. It's an inexpensive, turnkey approach to showcase your powersports product line to the right buyers in the right place.

Boost your presence at the 2012 SEMA Show by taking advantage of the following SEMA News advertising special. When you purchase a series of three, four-color ads (sized 1/3-page or larger) in SEMA News, you'll receive a fourth ad of the same size for free!

The council awards call for nominations will go live starting the week of July 23 and remain open through August 17, 2012. Please keep an eye out for the “call for nominations” e-mail that will provide you with the process, criteria and nomination information.
