Bummer.
The official word was just handed down: “Due to Covid-19 and concerns that event facilities and services will be unavailable, the SEMA Show will not be taking place in 2020.”
A glimmer of hope, perhaps, from the same release: “Recent SEMA Show survey results indicated interest in a possible virtual tradeshow with related live elements. SEMA will be working with industry members to determine interest levels on specific alternatives.”
Full refunds for exhibitors and attendees will be issues.
Just because, here are a few photos from last year’s show.

Bummer.
Sad, but not a surprise. I actually thought the show was earlier in the year.
About 5 minutes ago I read about how Nevada has not handled the COVID thing. I'm not surprised at all that SEMA is cancelled.
Oooof, and I just got an email yesterday about how PRI is still planning to go ahead.
Well hopefully we will see a dramatic increase in driveshafts at the 2021 show now that these shops will have an extra year to build. 
What a year.
Hopefully they take a cue from E3 and Defcon to put on a virtual show.
Turn it into an opportunity to increase their audience size.
*sigh*

I was curious about PRI. I've been a few times when bored, it's only 2hrs away. Unless things are very different in December this will be a skip year.
