Coppersmith's Bobby Shaida visits SEMA!

Around 160,000 attendees turned out at the event. Coppersmith was delighted to meet many of our customers in person.

The SEMA Show is the aftermarket industry’s annual trade show in Las Vegas at the massive Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC). It’s hard to describe if you haven’t attended. The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) produces the show, so when people ask, “What is SEMA?” they may be referring to the show or the trade association itself.

It’s a four-day aftermarket industry trade show and event that, at its high point, before Covid, brought in over 160,000 attendees, including more than 70,000 buyers from the industry. Attendees came from all over the U.S. and 140 countries.
