SEMA Announces Industry Night @ SEMA

SEMA has announced an all-new event, Industry Night @ SEMA, set to take place on Tuesday, Nov. 5, the opening night of the 2024 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The celebration is designed to bring together professionals from across the automotive aftermarket industry for an evening of networking, live music, entertainment and camaraderie.

Industry Night @ SEMA will feature a lineup of bands, including performances by the Goo Goo Dolls, O.A.R., and the electrifying energy of Reignwolf, organizers announced. Attendees will also experience motorsports displays during the day, adding a twist to the night’s festivities.

The elements are designed to engage attendees from all corners of the industry, providing a unique and dynamic experience that blends entertainment with professional engagement, organizers noted.

“As our industry continues to evolve, so do the ways we connect,” said Tom Gattuso, SEMA vice president of events. “We’re creating an inclusive and dynamic space where the entire industry community can come together to build relationships and celebrate the future of our industry.”

As the automotive aftermarket industry evolves, SEMA continues to leverage its unique position with both industry and consumer audiences to create new points of connection and opportunity, officials report. The strategy began with the creation of the SEMA Cruise in 2011 and continued last year with the launch of SEMA Fest.

Now, with Industry Night @ SEMA, the show will provide a new platform where the industry community can engage in meaningful conversations, establish new relationships, and strengthen existing ones in a relaxed, festive atmosphere.

The 2024 SEMA Show takes place Nov. 5-8 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Attendees can maximize their ROI by registering now and taking advantage of housing and travel discounts. Registration is $120 for qualified attendees through the Show. To learn more or to register to attend the 2024 SEMA Show, visit semashow.com.
