I'm thrilled to see IEC Con really take root and focus on the issues directly affecting the electrical and systems contracting industries, led by our group of world-class presenters and engaged session attendees. It's imperative we continue this momentum, and I urge potential speakers to take advantage of this opportunity to challenge current thinking, highlight industry trends and new technologies, and showcase industry-leading solutions while motivating others in the pursuit of excellence. I certainly look forward to the next set of expert presenters at IECCon17.
