MEP Innovation Conference brings together mechanical, electrical, plumbing and sheet metal contractors with the technology partners building for them. Hosted jointly by MCAA, NECA and SMACNA, the 2027 edition runs January 25-27 at the JW Marriott Tampa Water Street in Tampa, with the exhibit floor open January 25-26.

RIVET will be on the floor both exhibit days. Stop by to see how contractors use RIVET to forecast labor demand, plan crews across projects, and get ahead of the manpower picture before it turns into a problem.

We are also on the education program. Ryan Hoggatt, VP of Construction Operations at UMC, and Louis Gelinas, Co-Founder and Director of Product at RIVET, will present "Scheduling and Resource Planning for the Data Center and Semiconductor Boom" - a look at how one contractor decides how much work to take on, when they will run out of work, and how they project labor against a market that keeps accelerating. Session time and room will be announced by the conference.
