The 2024 SEMA Show is from November 5-8, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The 2024 SEMA Show is coming up fast! If you’ll be attending, we want to invite you to stop by Booth #11557 to connect with our team and meet our new company president, Kris Denos.
This year, our booth team will be offering demos of R.O. Writer DVI Suite, plus a special sneak peek of our new, online version of R.O. Writer. When you come by the booth, you’ll be among the first to experience a live demo of this game-changing software.

2. Visit the New Product Showcase
The much-anticipated New Products Showcase can be found in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center again this year. The showcase has thousands of the latest exhibitor products displayed in one location. Attendees always tell us that the Showcase is a must-see.
The SEMA Show mobile app’s “Product Scanner” feature can be used to scan and download product photos and exhibitor information.
The R.O Writer team is proud to showcase our cloud-based digital vehicle inspection (DVI) solution at this year’s New Products Showcase. R.O. Writer DVI lets you text your technician’s inspection findings and recommendations alongside pictures and videos directly to your customers, so your customers feel empowered to make educated decisions quickly. It’s a simple and effective way to build trust with customers while improving shop sales and quality control.
3. Take Advantage of the Free Transportation
SEMA Show attendees are always advised to consider using the free shuttle service to get to the event, as parking can be a challenge.
Free hotel shuttle service is available to and from the LVCC and more than 45 hotels, and discounted tickets are available to Showgoers for the Las Vegas Monorail, which will operate at extended hours during SEMA Show week.
Save yourself some transportation fare and take advantage of these offers. The shuttle schedule can be found on the official SEMA website.
