Jam-Packed with Live Installations and Trendsetting Products, 3M’s Booth is the Place to be at the 2016 SEMA Show.
For the 2016 SEMA Show, 3M is thrilled to preview what more than 60,000 attendees will have the chance to experience in-person at booth #12145. 3M Commercial Solutions will host a hub of activity at the annual trade show, with opportunities for guests to gain expert tips during live demonstrations, meet industry celebrities, get a glimpse of new products and experience the grand finale of the third-annual Wrap2Wrap contest live on the SEMA floor.
The 3M Wrap2Wrap contest is an open, nationwide competition that provides a platform for installers to showcase their exceptional wrapping skills using 3M™ Wrap Film Series 1080. After several months of excellent submissions and strenuous judging process, the peak of the event will take place live on Nov. 3 at the 3M SEMA booth, where crowned winners Chad Monroe and Jeremy Conner will join forces to wrap a baby grand piano, two tom drums and two guitars that will be played on stage later that evening during a performance at a private event. Attendees can watch the contest finale unfold all day Thursday, Nov. 3 until 3 p.m. .
3M Wrap Film Series 1080 will continue to make a splash at the 3M booth where the new, industry-changing color flip films will be on display. The trio of mesmerizing shades, Gloss Flip Electric Wave, Satin Flip Caribbean Shimmer and Satin Flip Glacial Frost, round out the growing Series 1080 portfolio. SEMA attendees will have the chance to experience these mesmerizing iridescent films up close as they refract vibrant hues of purple, deep teal and soft blue, creating an invigorating prismatic finish that will inspire fresh, unique vehicle wraps and graphics.
“SEMA Show 2016 is an ideal platform for connecting with our customers and creating a space where we can demonstrate our innovation in tangible and exciting ways,” said Janelle Pizzi, U.S. Product Marketer, 3M Commercial Solutions. “We encourage attendees to stop by our booth to get a first-hand look at our new products and watch live wrap events, like the finale of the anticipated Wrap2Wrap contest using 3M Wrap Film Series 1080.”
In addition to the finale of Wrap2Wrap, 3M will execute multiple live wrap demonstrations at its booth each day of the trade show. A BMW i8 will undergo a series of unique car designs using new products like 3M™ Print Wrap Film IJ180mC-10, 3M™ Scotchlite™ Print Wrap Film 780mC-10R, our new wrappable reflective film, and 3M Wrap Film Series 1080. The cutting-edge 3M™ Knifeless Tape will be showcased in a live demo on the hood of a vehicle, while live streaming from GoPro cameras on two large monitors will help spectators from all across the auto industry gain up-close access to the detailed perspective of the application.
