BOWIE, Md. – The Tire Industry Association (TIA) is pleased to announce that Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas will serve as the host hotel for this year’s GTE pre-show networking events at the SEMA Show. As North America’s premier automotive aftermarket event kicks off on Tuesday, TIA’s pre-show events will provide valuable networking opportunities in a convenient and centralized location.

“We are always excited to bring TIA’s Global Tire Expo (GTE) to the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, and our pre-show events combine association business with industry networking the night before North America’s largest automotive aftermarket event begins,” said Dick Gust, TIA CEO. “TIA selected Planet Hollywood as our host hotel so all association meetings and the networking event on Monday will be in the same place.
