The 2014 SEMA Auto Show is coming to Vegas this week!
For those of you in the auto industry or even an auto enthusiast, you probably already know the SEMA Auto Show is the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world. It's is a rare opportunity to see and talk with over 2,300 companies displaying new products entering the market, 1,000's of the nicest cars in the world, and even some of the biggest name celebrities are on hand for the 4-day event. To an idea of the raw size of the SEMA, it covers 4 different halls in the Las Vegas Convention Center (North, Central, South Upper & South Lower) that spans over a million square feet!
