Similar Trade Shows to SEMA
Events that are specific to automotive parts rather than full-on car shows, are relatively few and far between. If you're looking for an event similar to SEMA, consider AAPEX - the Automotive Aftermarket Parts Expo. If you're thinking about heading to both shows, think again because SEMA and AAPEX occur on the exact same weekend in Las Vegas in 2023.
