SEMA Moves to Simplify Registration

(Akron/Tire Review) SEMA says it has smoothed the registration process for past SEMA Show attendees in an effort to make it easier for “prequalified professionals” to sign up and attend the 2007 SEMA Show, Oct. 30-Nov. 2, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas.

Those who attended the SEMA Show in 2005 or 2006 will have a personalized “alumni number” that verifies their trade status. The alumni number correlates to information previously submitted to help avoids attendees having to re-submit business documents and fill out several forms.

“The SEMA Show is about connecting businesses and buyers,” said Peter MacGillivray, SEMA vice president of shows and marketing. “While we’re committed to ensuring that the show is restricted to legitimate trade professionals, and we’re also committed to making it as simple as possible for qualified attendees to register and get down to business.”

An e-mail with a unique alumni link was sent to everyone who attended the SEMA Show in 2005 or 2006. The link will automatically connect the qualified individual to the SEMA Show registration page.

Qualified alumni (those who attended the 2005 or 2006 SEMA Show) who did not receive the e-mail should contact customer service at registration@aaiwshow.com or call 866-229-3687 to obtain their unique registration link.

New registration for those who did not attend in 2005 or 2006 will open May 1.
