DIAMOND BAR, CA -- Registration is now available online for the 2005 SEMA Show, which will take place Nov. 1-4 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

“With the ongoing growth of the automotive accessories industry and the show, we are continuing to make the show user-friendly and registration is now easier than ever for qualified professional attendees,” said Peter MacGillivray, SEMA vice president, marketing and communications.

In addition to easier registration, which can be completed online at www.semashow.com online tools such as the “My Show Planner” have been upgraded to make planning and navigation of the show more convenient.

SEMA is a trade-only show, however, growing awareness and popularity of aftermarket products and technology have led to an increased interest in the show among those not qualified to attend. Thus, SEMA has increased screening procedures and heightened qualifications to ensure the exclusivity and professionalism of the event.

SEMA Show attendees will be able to view the extensive new products showcase featuring more than 1,000 never-before seen innovative and cutting edge automotive accessories and see first-hand the world-debut of the 2006 Honda Civic Si. Attendees can also sit in on a series of special educational sessions focusing on supporting small-businesses. All sessions are free and do not require registration. A broad range of topics will be covered including: leadership skills, management, team building, communication, and merchandising.

This year’s exclusive event open only to verified industry professionals and media, will feature more than 2000 exhibitors in over one million square feet of space. More than 100,000 trade professionals are expected to attend this year to walk through the 10 market-based sections and view the anticipated 1,000 never-before seen products that will be displayed in the new products showcase.

Online registration and additional information about SEMA Show is available at www.semashow.com or by contacting ConvExx Show Management at askus@convexx.com or 702/450-7662, ext. 118.
