Qualifying materials may be required to: Verify that the company is an editorial/media body that covers the SEMA industry, its members, or its products, and Verify that the applicant is associated with the company.

To learn more about other categories that might be applicable for public relations and marketing personnel to obtain Show access, email regmgr@sema.org.
