RIVET is a proud exhibitor at the 2026 NECA Convention & Trade Show, October 4–7 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas — find us at booth #1725. NECA is the year's flagship gathering for electrical contractors.

Stop by to see how leading NECA members forecast labor demand, deploy crews with discipline, and stop the margin fade that quietly erodes a well-bid job — all in one platform. And don't miss RIVET's Ryan Meitl for a session on Tuesday, Oct 6 (3:00–3:50 PM) on running tighter labor operations.

Want dedicated time with the team? Book a slot below and we'll walk your crew through it at the booth.
