I am thrilled to extend a warm invitation to each of you for the NECA 2024 Convention and Trade Show taking place in the vibrant city of San Diego. This annual gathering is a cornerstone of our industry, offering a unique opportunity for learning, networking and showcasing the latest innovations that are shaping the future of electrical construction.

As we continue to navigate the opportunities and difficulties of our industry, networking and collaboration could not be more valuable than at this present time. We are all aware of the challenges we face, from the evolving labor market to the pressing need for sustainable practices that align with our commitment to the environment. That’s why this year’s convention has been meticulously designed to address these issues, with a focus on actionable solutions that can be implemented in your businesses immediately.

Contractor roundtables are always one of the most anticipated features at the NECA convention, where industry leaders will engage in candid discussions on several critical topics. A few sessions that I believe are important are Beating the Labor Shortage: Utilizing Technology in a Changing Workforce, Family Business Survival: Ensuring Longevity Across Generations and Win More Sustainability Projects and Make a Profit: Electrical Vehicle Supply Equipment, plus many more.

In addition to these sessions, the NECA Trade Show always features cutting-edge products, technologies and services from leading manufacturers and suppliers. This is an unparalleled opportunity to discover the latest advancements that can drive your business forward. I encourage you to take full advantage of everything this event has to offer. Whether you are a business owner, project manager, industry partner, NECA member or nonmember, there is something here for everyone.

I look forward to seeing you in San Diego as we come together to shape the future of electrical construction.
