he Electric Event 2014 is the must-visit event of the year for anyone associated with the electrical industry. Taking place from 28-30 May at the International Conference Centre (ICC) in Birmingham,
the ECA’s groundbreaking experience brings together the annual ECA Electrical Industry Conference – a high-level annual business conference featuring a fantastic line-up of keynote speakers – alongside a Meet the Suppliers exhibition packed with key industry players, a range of highly-focused Technology Live technical workshops covering important industry developments, plus a glittering gala dinner and ECA Annual Awards ceremony. The Electric Event returns to the Midlands
following a highly successful inaugural show last year that drew visitors from across the UK and beyond.
The unique format of the event means that there is something for everyone, whatever size of business and whatever area of the electrical sector you’re working in. And, with so many key industry people attending, it also provides an unmissable networking opportunity. The Electric Event is all about business and fresh thinking – delivering fresh insights on opportunities to grow your business, providing the latest updates on technological and legislative changes, and keying into the essentials for understanding and managing change and strengthening your business. At a time when the economy is fi nally starting to emerge from the deepest recession in living memory, it is crucial that your business is prepared – and equipped – for both the opportunities and risks that the recovery presents. The Electric Event has been developed by the
ECA in consultation with key industry partners to ensure that it provides an essential experience for visitors from both the electrical contracting sector and wider building services industry. Whether full conference delegates or day visitors to the exhibition and workshop strands of the show, fresh ideas to get you thinking are guaranteed.
