SEMA's Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) is accepting entries for its Hot Products Showcase, happening April 22-25 at the Spring Carlisle Show in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. This free program for ARMO members will put their newest and most innovative products directly in front of potential customers at the high-profile event.

Why it matters

The Hot Products Showcase provides ARMO members with increased brand visibility within the restoration community and the opportunity to connect with buyers actively looking to build or restore classic cars. Award winners will also receive recognition in SEMA publications and at the ARMO Banquet.

The details

Entering the Showcase is a free benefit exclusive to restoration parts manufacturers that are ARMO members. Manufacturers are only responsible for shipping their products in advance with a return label or dropping off and picking up their products on-site. ARMO volunteers will set up and take down the product display, providing a seamless, minimal-effort experience for participants.

  • The Spring Carlisle Show will take place from April 22-25, 2026.
  • The ARMO Banquet at the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas will be held in November 2026.
