Manufacturers should share as much detailed information about their product, newest product line, changes in the company or the latest industry trends as possible. Ad sales are not a part of the curriculum. In fact, the event rules prohibit anything except editorial discussions. So you can stay focused on promoting your business and developing a relationship with your media representatives.
The event is 3 full days of 30 minute meetings between manufacturers and media. The first meeting begins at 9:00am and the last meeting ends at 6:00pm with two 30 minute breaks and an hour break for a provided lunch. In addition to the meetings, there are industry events taking place nightly.
This event attracts hundreds of members of editorial media representatives, including editors, reporters, freelance journalists, and photographers. Participation is also open to tradition media (print, radio, and television) and new media, including online journalists, bloggers, and e-commerce reporters, who can quickly report on the products they see at the conference.
Each participating manufacturer will be assigned one room at the Embassy Suites that has a front "living room" area. You will set up your space and conduct your meetings there. Yes, you can sleep in that same room - just be sure to keep it tidy! You are able to book multiple sleeping rooms if colleagues will be joining you.
Bringing products is encouraged! Being able to touch, hold, and photograph your products is part of the reason MTC is in person. Participating manufacturers will receive all shipping information and instructions prior to the event.
Yes! Check-in will be located at Salon A for exhibitors and Teak/Ebony room for media. Follow the directional signage located at an outdoor entrance or through the main lobby to receive your badges, welcome packet and the most up to date schedule of meetings.
Exhibitors are encouraged to stop by the "Ballroom A" for additional support from SEMA staff.
r media. for additional support from SEMA staff.SEMA staff puts together a comprehensive schedule of meetings best matching the meeting preferences of both media and manufacturers. The first round of schedules are sent out 2 weeks prior to the event. Manufacturers and media will be able to communicate and connect with one another through Discord. There are typically schedule changes up to arriving on-site and you will be handed the most up to date schedule when checking in. For any on-site schedule changes, you will be notified via text or email (whichever you prefer).
