VIP Events · Invitation to the Inner Circle

Where the industry's doors open for you.

Our VIP events put you shoulder-to-shoulder with the people who actually move the detailing industry. We're starting with one — the flagship SEMA VIP Experience in Las Vegas — and we'll be adding more over time. Each one is small, hand-picked, and built around access you simply can't buy a ticket for.

The SEMA VIP Experience.

Six days. Las Vegas. A rented mansion. Personal chef. Four guest speakers. The biggest aftermarket trade show on the planet — and you walk it with my entire industry network at your side. This isn't a training event. It's a once-a-year doorway into the industry.

First — what is SEMA?

SEMA stands for the Specialty Equipment Market Association, the trade group that represents the multi-billion-dollar automotive aftermarket — the people who design, build, and sell the parts, tools, and finishes that make vehicles faster, tougher, and better looking.

Every November, SEMA hosts the SEMA Show in Las Vegas: one of the largest automotive trade events on the planet, drawing well over 100,000 industry professionals and filling the Las Vegas Convention Center with thousands of exhibitors, custom builds, and product launches. It's where the entire industry — manufacturers, distributors, and top shops — gathers under one roof for a single week.

It's trade-only, it's massive, and it's the single best place in the world to make the relationships that grow a detail business. That's exactly why we built a VIP experience around it.

SEMA VIP Experience · 6 Days

November 2–7 · Las Vegas, Nevada

Going to SEMA alone is overwhelming. Going to SEMA with Jonathan and his network of industry titans is a different sport entirely. You walk the floor with me on day one and I personally introduce you to my entire industry network — manufacturers, distributors, top operators, the people who actually move the needle. Then we go back to a rented mansion where four world-class guest speakers drop wisdom over dinners prepared by a personal chef. This is the trip you'll be telling stories about for the rest of your career.

What you're getting

  • SEMA Show access — the biggest automotive aftermarket event in the world
  • Personal introductions to Jonathan's full industry network on day 1 — manufacturers, distributors, top shops
  • Rented mansion as our home base for the week — sleep, eat, learn under one roof
  • Personal chef handling several dinners and breakfasts during the speaker days
  • 4 guest speakers hosted at the mansion — pre-event and post-event teaching sessions
  • Daily debriefs with the cohort to lock in what you saw on the show floor
  • Lifetime industry relationships with both Jonathan's network AND your fellow VIPs
