Yes, the 2020 SEMA Show is cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The 2020 SEMA Show was scheduled for Nov. 3-6, 2020.

The number of SEMA Show attendees for 2021 is up in the air but we can show how big the show is in terms of square feet.

What is SEMA?

The SEMA Show is the aftermarket industry’s annual trade show in Las Vegas at the massive Las Vegas Convention Center and it’s hard to describe if you haven’t attended. It’s produced by SEMA, the Specialty Equipment Market Association.

It’s a four-day aftermarket industry event that brings in 162,000 attendees including more than 70,000 buyers from the industry. Attendees come from all over the U.S. and 140 countries. They come to see more than 2,400 exhibiting companies.

One of the interesting statistics is the length of one of the exhibit halls, the Upper South Hall where you find truck products, business services, powersports companies and some first-time exhibitors. This is only one of several halls that contain the SEMA Show.

How big is SEMA?

The Upper South Hall is 464,658 square feet and is approximately 1,690 feet end-to-end. The Empire State Building is a “mere” 1,454 feet tall including the spire. If you could somehow lay the Empire State Building on its side with its base at the entrance to the Upper South Hall, the tip of the antenna would end near the International Surface Technologies, #34308 or the McKee’s booth, #33308.

The other halls combine for 1.2 million net square feet of exhibit space, plus 1 million additional square feet of attractions around the convention center and in the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino next door. There are 1,500 feature vehicles scheduled and over 3,000 products featured in the New Products Showcase.
