HOTEL LODGING, CONVENTION CENTER PARKING MAPS, AND COVID AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS AT TIME OF OUR EVENT:
DISTRIBUTOR & TECH SCHOOL BUS SUBSIDY REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM: All distributors and tech schools/colleges are urged to coordinate bus transportation for customers, students, and/or your staff. We have greatly enhanced the subsidy amounts of each bus you charter to the EXPO. We will reimburse you (according to the bus subsidy reimbursement map link) after the EXPO when you email NCEL a copy of your bus invoice -- you pay for the bus, and we reimburse your company after the EXPO. See the bus subsidy reimbursement map at Distributor/School Bus Subsidy Map. Additionally, every bus arriving on Thursday, April 2021 (which is also Student Day), will receive an additional $250 bonus subsidy. Bus transportation is a great way to avoiding traffic and parking -- and selling your brand to a captive audience while in transit to/from the EXPO.
Together we will rally! Stand with us – supporting your Upper Midwest’s Electrical Industry, supporting your vendor colleagues, and supporting your customers – by attending the December 8-9, 2021 Electrical EXPO. December EXPO dates allows you to re-engage and leverage several promising elements, including: avoiding a surge in business projected post COVID; increased attendance due to field personnel availability during a slow time; avoiding major industry event conflicts; jump-starting tabled construction projects; and lastly – an optimistic, all-industry celebration midway through a festive Holiday Season. It is important that all industry personnel attend and support your Electrical EXPO!
