2. Visit the New Product Showcase
The New Products Showcase is located in the Upper South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The showcase has more than 3,000 of the latest exhibitor products displayed in one location.
With the SEMA Show mobile app’s “Product Scanner” feature, use your smartphone as a scanner or simply grab a scanner at one of the “Free Scanner Pickup” booths around the New Products Showcase. Walk around and browse the more than 3,000 products in the showcase.
When you are done, return your scanner to the “Scanner Return” desk to instantly get a printout of all the products you scanned. The printout will contain key product information such as the product’s description, image, booth number, and how to locate and contact the exhibitors who manufacture the products.
