NECA Show 2026

Date
October 4–7, 2026
Location
Las Vegas, NV
Venue
Mandalay Bay Convention Center

The annual NECA Show (previously called NECA Convention & Trade Show) serves as the gathering point for leaders in the continually evolving electrical construction industry, valued at over $200 billion.

The National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) event provides a broad platform for industry stakeholders to exchange ideas on emerging trends in power, light, and communication technology. The conference's diverse offerings make it a vital meeting spot for those looking to stay at the cutting edge of the field. Attendees gain insights into new work opportunities, not only within the United States but also on a global scale, reflecting the industry's expansive growth.

A key attraction of the NECA Show is its interactive, dynamic nature. Participants have the unique opportunity to engage directly with manufacturer executives, exploring products and services essential for competitive success in the job site, shop, or office. The show floor doubles as an experiential classroom where attendees can test innovative products and learn about efficiency-driving solutions.

With over 300 exhibitors, attendees gain direct access to the newest offerings in the electrical construction industry. Complementing the exhibition, the event hosts a multitude of educational workshops that cover key topics such as construction solutions, technology, and leadership, enriching the overall convention experience.
