SEMA Issues Call for Speakers

As part of SEMA’s initiative to provide live and virtual education to the automotive specialty equipment industry, SEMA is issuing a call for speakers for the SEMA Show, the PRI Trade Show and the association’s year-round virtual education program, the organization announced.

Applications are open to innovative thinkers, industry experts and dynamic presenters who can share ideas, technologies and expertise with the industry, the organization said.

In addition to in-person seminars at the SEMA Show and the PRI Trade Show, the trade group has expanded its year-round virtual education program.

While the focus of the education program is specific to the industry professionals in the automotive aftermarket and its related niche-specific segments, SEMA and PRI aim to provide seminars that will help participants take their businesses and careers to the next level. Topics of particular interest include:

  • Business Management
  • Sales & Marketing
  • Advanced Vehicle Technology
  • Trends & Research
  • Sponsorship
  • Building Brands/Branding
  • Digital Marketing
  • Industry Segment Specific Topics
