SEMA Announces New Friday Night Attraction

SEMA Ignited celebration to be open to the general public; will feature food, music, celebrities, iconic builders and exhibitor displays.

For the first time ever, this year’s SEMA Show will host "SEMA Ignited," a celebration that will include food, music, celebrities, iconic builders and exhibitor displays. The event will take place Friday, Nov. 7 from 4 to 10 p.m.

"SEMA Ignited is an extension of the SEMA Show that will allow exhibiting companies to gain additional media and consumer exposure for the acclaimed vehicles and innovative gear they bring to Las Vegas," said Chris Kersting, SEMA president and CEO.

After four days behind closed doors in the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), visible only to industry professionals, hundreds of cars and trucks from the SEMA Show will roll out of the building to be displayed to the general public.

For years, auto enthusiasts would assemble at the LVCC at the conclusion of the SEMA Show simply to get a glimpse of the amazing vehicles as they exited from the trade-only event. That phenomenon eventually led to the SEMA Cruise, and now, the SEMA Cruise has a destination, as hundreds of one-of-a-kind cars and trucks will congregate at The LINQ Promenade, Las Vegas’s new open-air shopping, dining and entertainment district that includes the world’s tallest observation wheel, the High Roller.

"This event will be a platform for a consumer and media blitz, featuring the best of the 2014 SEMA Show," said Kersting.

The event will give consumers a rare opportunity to collect and share images of hundreds of customized vehicles featuring the newest and most innovative products from the 2014 SEMA Show. Participation is free of charge to exhibitors by virtue of their involvement in the SEMA Show. Interested parties should email [email protected] for details.
