SEMA is a tradeshow for members and wholesalecustomers. One of the problems they have had is everyonegetting in!
Some trade shows do have a few "public" days (some RV and boat trade shows come to mind) but on those days the wholesale price lists, etc. are NOT passed out. Do you sell something? Should all of YOUR customers have your cost sheets? 
The problem is that the SEMA show became a tool used to market to the public and generate PR rather than the trade show it was started as.
