Electrical Conferences and Trade Shows and How They’re Important to Your Business
Electrical conferences are some of the top sought professional conferences every year. Home service professionals look to trade shows and industry-focused conferences to stay up to date on education, laws, and vendor offerings.

Making The Most of Your Electrical Trade Show and Conference Experience
Build your wish list: Before you go, make sure you create your list of key questions you’re facing right now in your business, industry, or team. These can be your talking points while meeting with peers or during Q&A time at the end of speaker presentations. It can also help keep you focused in the exhibitor area, knowing who you should spend your time talking to.
Is there a conference app? Find out if there is a conference app. Download it before you go to see the latest announcements and potential peers, and mentors you can meet up with. The best relationships are built outside the Electrical conference. Find out where the after-parties and peer dinner groups are meeting. WiFi is not always a sure thing at the venue. Make sure you download the app before you go.
Get your Twitter account ready – A lot of the conference chatter happens via a Twitter hashtag thread. Find out what the conference hashtag will be, and save it in your search preferences in your Twitter mobile app.
Engage. These events are so much better when you can share what you’ve learned, insights, and tips with other electrical professionals. Great way to see who else is attending and who you may want to follow on Twitter for post-event conversations and networking.
Block out time for meetings. The relationships you make will be better than the presenter’s message (sorry speakers! I know you agree though 🙂 Find time in the conference schedule to have one on one coffee connections or lunch meetings. Get to know other professionals. Many people take the time to build support groups or masterminds with other Electrician professionals. Allows them to have a trusted community of contacts to share ideas and grow alongside.
Take advantage of the early-bird sessions. The more well-known speakers are scheduled during the meat & potatoes time slots of the conference. However, some of my favorite sessions during professional conferences have happened during the pre-conference time slots. The ‘up-and-comers’ are speaking and putting a TON into their presentations. Don’t overlook the newbies to the speaking scene.
