Over the past year, NECA members and other electrical construction professionals have gathered at our numerous events to share industry best practices, consume top-notch educational sessions and bolster networking connections amongst peers. That’s what NECA does: provide opportunities for our members. Our most exciting and advantageous opportunity is always our annual NECA Convention and Trade Show.

This year’s festivities take place in Philadelphia, Sept. 29–Oct. 2. The convention introduces visionaries from all over the country to create fundamental relationships with educators, manufacturers and solution providers and electrical contractors of all sizes. It’s great to be back in the City of Brotherly Love after five years. The region is rich in trade history signifying the backbone of our nation.

We also couldn’t be more enthused to have a record-breaking exhibitor turnout for our trade show floor this year: more than 350 companies are eager to make new connections with our industry members. The caliber of quality workshops and education sessions offered will also be second to none as our national staff strives to target the most in-demand topics.

These sessions are just the tip of the NECA 2023 Philadelphia iceberg. Our opening and closing receptions are prime for networking in a fun, social environment, while our three keynote speakers are beneficial for gaining operational insight. We welcome everyone interested in attending the NECA Convention and Trade Show and we encourage you to check out the event schedule on our website, www.necaconvention.org. There you will also find directions on how to register for NECA 2023 Philadelphia.

People are the greatest asset to our industry. I look forward to seeing you in the birthplace of America.
