SEMA Events

The Specialty Equipment Market Association or SEMA was formed to help automotive aftermarket companies grow and succeed in the marketplace. SEMA hosts many events, but they are most famous for the SEMA Show, an industry-only trade show held annually in Las Vegas, NV. V8TV Productions, Inc., and the V8 Speed and Resto Shop are proud to be SEMA members, and are active in the association. V8 Speed and Resto Shop is a member of several committees, including the Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA), the Automotive Restoration Market Association (ARMO), and the SEMA Businesswomen’s Network (SBN). V8 Speed and Resto’s Kevin Oeste acts as the Emcee and host of many events at the SEMA Show, including the Monday Night SEMA Revel, host of the SEMA Central stage, Emcee of the SEMA Industry Awards Banquet, and Emcee of the SEMA Cruise. He also hosts the SEMA Hall Of Fame Induction Gala. In this section, you’ll find articles and videos from the SEMA show covering everything from manufacturer interviews and new products to SEMA Central interviews.
