Monthly Wrap Up: November 2014

December 1, 2014 By Nadeem Muaddi

Auto Upholstery - The Hog Ring - November 2014 Wrap Up

This month has been one wild ride. Not only did we fly to Las Vegas for the 2014 SEMA Show, but we reported on loads of new products and steered The Hog Ring community’s attention to the best sales and promotions our industry has to offer. Of course, we unveiled the latest addition to our popular Design Studio too. Here’s a look back at November 2014.

We’re headed to the 2014 SEMA Show

Look out Sin City, The Hog Ring is about to invade! We’re headed to Las Vegas for the 2014 SEMA Show, where we’ll be reporting on the auto upholstery industry’s latest news and products.

Report Back: 2014 SEMA Show, Day 1

Day one of the 2014 SEMA Show was awesome! We registered, walked the convention floor, saw some jaw-dropping interiors, networked with company reps and even met a few members of The Hog Ring.

The 2014 SEMA Show continues to be a blast, with seemingly infinite networking opportunities and loads of new developments in the sector of car interiors to report on — which we’ll be doing.
