The event serves as the industry’s celebration where newly-elected members of the board of directors are sworn in, and SEMA Hall of Fame inductees are introduced for the first time, according to a news release_notes.

"While the products and customizing trends take center stage at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the SEMA Installation Banquet is a time to shine the light on the people and volunteers who make this industry a success," said Chris Kersting, SEMA president and CEO. "This is truly a unique event where we honor and thank our industry’s leaders.”
