Been setting up booths for clients for the SEMA Show since 2016 & been attending the outside show since 2018. Never seen anyone get approached by security so there should be no problem as long as you don't go inside because they check for badges inside but I have been able to go inside with my worker's badge before since I work on some of those jobs, but outside is definitely where the fun is at!
I have been attending the SEMA Show for over 26 years with other employees. This year they have declined my registration and are demanding my Business Licence and tax returns. I've been retired for a number of years including last year when nobody asked for documentation. This is no longer a "Trade Only Event" The General Public are being allowed in as long as they pay $120 to "Walk The Floor" on the Friday. It is now just a money grab as they have realised in recent years attendance has dwindled, especially from International visitors. SEMA your discriminating against old retirees from your industry.
What if I am a tireshop business and the actually owner of the business wants to attend but he is not in the payroll, but everything on the business is on his name?
Probably not an issue. They might ask for extra documentation. Sometimes it is a company ID, maybe business cards, etc. You would have to go to SEMASHOW.com and ask there.

It's free 🙌
At the beginning you say that the show is not open to the public... But later on you say that on friday it is?
There is one day that the public can buy tickets. The rest of the week it is a closed trade show.
What about licensed auto adjusters?
Really unsure. But my guess is no, for the regular show. SEMA Fest is open to anyone. Try the contact on semashow.com
