Selection Process

  • We receive many seminar proposals, so please understand that it is a difficult and highly selective process for our team of volunteers and staff to review and choose from among the many excellent submissions. As such, quality rather than quantity is always best when submitting proposals. Final selections for SEMA Show Education will be made by April 1, 2025.
  • The majority of SEMA education speakers are industry subject-matter experts and are not compensated. If you require compensation, please note your speaker fee range for a one-hour session on your proposal submission form.
