SEMA President and CEO Chris Kersting says "the industry was clearly excited to be back in-person at the SEMA Show, both to capture business opportunities and to network and celebrate the world's greatest collection of innovation on wheels.
"Our industry was waiting to reconnect and the SEMA Show was a welcome homecoming after nearly two years apart."
The 2021 SEMA Show took place Nov. 2 through Nov. 5 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and occupied 4.6 million square feet of space.
