More than 150 companies were recognized by a panel of international journalists at the SEMA Show for creating products that resonate with consumers in international markets.
The Global Media Awards program consisted of 27 international journalist judges from 17 different countries who reviewed and evaluated products displayed in the 2017 SEMA Show New Products Showcase. Each judge selected up to 10 products that they believed would succeed in their home countries.
Winning exhibitors received their award and spoke with the journalists who selected their products at the International Happy Hour, which took place Nov. 1, during the SEMA Show.
