Built for Automotive & Aftermarket exhibitors
Las Vegas is the automotive industry's biggest stage — SEMA and AAPEX run the same week each November, and NADA brings the dealership world every February. Roughly 5,000+ exhibitors combined compete across these floors, so a booth has to do two jobs at once: frame the vehicle or product as the hero, and read from across a packed aisle.
- Build for the reveal — a turntable or raised platform, clean sightlines, and a wide LED canvas running hero footage so the vehicle or product is the focal point.
- Large fine-pitch LED walls win the prestige builds (SEMA / AAPEX flagship islands); they double as a crowd-stopper and a looping demo screen.
- For the supplier long tail (parts, tools, chemicals at AAPEX), backlit SEG lightboxes and modular inline kits deliver brand impact at a fraction of a custom build.
- At NADA the floor is software, F&I and digital-retail tech — here LED walls earn their keep as live demo screens, paired with a quiet meeting area to close deals.
Booth sizes & what to expect
These floors run the full range — from 10x10 inline supplier booths to 30x40+ vehicle-display islands. SEMA requires a 20x20 minimum for an island; AAPEX averages out to a lot of mid-size inline booths with a smaller set of large brand islands. We rent and build for every size.
Displays for Automotive & Aftermarket booths
Designed, delivered, installed, and supported on the show floor — you don't build or wire anything yourself.

What an automotive stand actually costs in floor space
We measured every stand on the SEMA Show 2026 floor from the show’s own published plan — 2,320 stands, 1,253,268 square feet — and matched 2,055 of them to how those exhibitors describe their own business. That gives the benchmark nobody publishes: what companies in your segment actually buy.
| Segment | Stands | Median | Average | No hanging sign |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paint protection & window film | 85 | 600 sq ft | 861 | 35% |
| Performance & racing | 347 | 400 sq ft | 615 | 34% |
| Electronics & lighting | 71 | 400 sq ft | 512 | 46% |
| Tires & wheels | 333 | 300 sq ft | 547 | 47% |
| Tools & equipment | 320 | 300 sq ft | 503 | 49% |
| Truck & off-road | 137 | 300 sq ft | 689 | 48% |
| Collision & repair | 62 | 200 sq ft | 385 | 52% |
There is a three-fold spread between the top and bottom of that table. Paint protection and window film companies buy the biggest stands on the automotive floor — a median of 600 square feet, double what tire and tool brands take. Collision and repair buys the smallest.
The pattern underneath it is the useful part: the segments that buy small floor are the same ones most likely to be barred from a hanging sign. Collision and repair is 200 sq ft median and 52% ineligible; paint protection is 600 sq ft and only 35%. If you are in one of the lower rows, you are competing for attention with less space and no overhead — which is precisely when what you build off the floor decides whether you are seen.
Use this as a benchmark, not a target. A well-built 200 sq ft stand beats a badly built 600. But if you are materially below your segment’s median, that is worth knowing before you approve the floor plan, not after.
Nearly half this floor cannot hang a sign
Across the whole SEMA floor, 46% of stands are inline or corner — classes that are not permitted an overhead hanging sign. It is decided by how many sides of your space face an aisle, which means it is fixed when you pick the space, months before anyone designs anything.
- Islands are 27% of stands but 65% of the floor. A quarter of exhibitors occupy two thirds of the hall.
- If you are inline or corner, every bit of vertical presence has to be built from the floor up inside roughly an 8 ft back wall — LED towers, backlit columns, tall lightboxes.
- About 10% of stands were still unsold when we measured, including some large blocks, so the floor around you is not necessarily final.
The full breakdown is in our SEMA floor plan analysis, and the comparison against a very different Las Vegas floor is in RE+ 2026 by the floor plan.
Frequently asked
Can you build a booth that shows off a vehicle at SEMA?
Yes — vehicle-display islands are a core build for us: raised platforms or turntables, wide LED video walls for hero footage, and open sightlines so the car reads from across the hall. Tell us your booth size and we'll send a design concept.
I'm a parts/aftermarket supplier with a smaller AAPEX booth — what's affordable?
A backlit SEG lightbox wall or a modular inline kit gives you a clean, bright, branded presence without a full custom build. These are our most cost-effective rentals and they re-skin show after show.
How much does an automotive booth cost in Las Vegas?
It depends on size and how much custom build and LED you want. As a rough guide, modular inline booths start in the low thousands and large custom vehicle islands run well into five or six figures. We send an itemized, no-obligation quote — the number is always specific to your booth.
