The Specialty Equipment Market Association is back in Las Vegas on Tuesday, but organizers have already started preparing for the show, noting that it will be bigger than ever.
SEMA showcases thousands of automotive parts and accessories as well as nearly 2,000 vehicles. This year’s show, which takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center until Friday, is expected to be 30 percent larger than last year, according to Tom Gattuso, vice president of events at SEMA.
Kevin Hart will also be in attendance as a keynote speaker — discussing his new show “Kevin Hart’s Muscle Car Crew,” which follows the comedian and his friends as they start a classic car club. Other keynote speakers will be three-time National Hot Rod Association world champion Antron Brown and NFL Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith, who recently became the co-owner of a NASCAR Xfinity Series team.
