The 2025 SEMA Show begins with two heavyweights hosting a Q&A, as the presidents of SEMA and the FIA discuss their new partnership and how it will shape mobility and safety policy.
SEMA President and CEO Mike Spagnola and Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) President Mohammed Ben Sulayem will discuss a range of topics, including the new partnership “to advance mobility and safety policy,” and how the collaboration “strengthens both organizations’ roles in global and United States policy while giving members access to research, advocacy and new opportunities.”
The program continues with an exclusive fireside chat featuring comedian and car collector Jay Leno and Stellantis Head of American Brands, North America Marketing and Retail Strategy and RAM Brand CEO Tim Kuniskis. The discussion will center on insights of the evolving landscape of automotive design, ingenuity, and car culture in a lively discussion.
SEMA Education hosts a full slate of seminars, workshops and panels in the recently renovated Las Vegas Convention Center North Hall, featuring a fully reimagined lineup of free, expert-led training sessions will bring value and insight to the thousands of industry professionals in attendance at the world’s leading automotive trade show.
