The countdown is on for the 2024 SEMA Show and there’s plenty to be excited about! Whether you’re a loyal customer or just kicking the tires, make sure to stop by our ALLDATA booth (#31065 – located in the Upper South Hall). We have lots to show you, plus, keep an eye out for our best deals of the year!

On top of getting you excited to check out our booth, we also wanted to share some useful tips for while you’re at the tradeshow:

Download the App

Downloading the app is an absolute must. It gives you bookmarkable exhibitor lists, seminar schedules, as well as an interactive map that can give you directions from one location to another. Get the app at the App Store (iOS) or Play Store (Android).

Use Social Media to Stay Up To Date

Follow SEMA’s social media accounts on Facebook, X, and Instagram to keep up with everything that’s happening at the show!

Bring business cards

SEMA is a chance to network with other automotive industry people, so bring plenty of business cards! If you need to print more, there is the FedEx Business Center located in the Grand Lobby for all your printing needs.

Plan Before You Go

SEMA has so many things to do, it’s a must to create an itinerary before you go. Prioritize the exhibits you want to see, make a list of any of the education sessions you want to go to and figure out designated resting and eating times. For food, make sure to plan your meals. It’ll be crowded, so our SEMA attendees recommend getting food early, or pre-ordering if possible.

Get the Most Out of the New Products Showcase

One of the most popular features of SEMA is the New Products Showcase. The SEMA website recommends it as a great place to start your day since it opens at 8 AM each day of the show. Be sure to use the scanner provided in the New Products Showcase to select products you’re interested in, and it’ll give you a personalized list of these products.

Visit the First Time and Featured Exhibit Areas

SEMA is normally sectioned off based on market segments, but there are four areas dedicated to a variety of different segments – perfect for newcomers and savvy buyers. 

Attend an Education Session

There are so many free education sessions available during SEMA, so be sure to check out a couple! From business management to legal and regulatory to vehicle technology, there’s something for everyone.

Know the Best Ways to Get Around While You’re There

For getting to the convention center, the SEMA website has a list of the different means of transportation, but our SEMA attendees recommend taking the monorail, if possible, to avoid heavy traffic and difficult parking.

Not only do you have to think about the best way to get to the convention center, but you also have to think of the best way to get around the convention center. When traveling around the convention center, you can use the Toyo Tire Treadpass as a shortcut between the South and Central Halls.

Take care of yourself

WEAR COMFY SHOES. The Las Vegas Convention Center is huge, and you’re going to be on your feet all day. Make sure you break in your shoes before you go and bring multiple pairs. Las Vegas’s climate is also very arid, so make sure to stay hydrated. Experienced SEMA-goers recommend bringing a humidifier to your hotel room if you’re not used to the dry air.

Can’t wait to see you at SEMA 2024!
