We have a great line-up of speakers at the conference. On September 20^th, join us to attend one of Europe’s most sought-after motivational and organizational speakers, trainers, and facilitators, David Meade. David will address how our “new normal” will be guided by the use of effective collaboration and partnerships within and across the construction industry. He will share his research on leadership and organizational structure with ECAO members, which they can take back to their company and help grow their business profits.

And on September 22^nd, Steven Bratt, the Group Chief Executive Officer at the UK-based Electrical Contractors’ Association (ECA), will be speaking about the range of benefits European Electrical Contractors have experienced with off-site construction. These include improved health and safety outcomes, increased productivity, a smaller carbon footprint and reduced operational costs.

With the re-opening of global business travel in 2022, and the resuming of scheduled global events amid continued COVID-19 concerns, there are added demands on organizations for due diligence with regard to risk associated with travel. ECAO, with the help of third party, conducted a Travel Risk Assessment, to recognize, inform and reduce the risk. The Initial risk analysis was done in March, and it was updated in May. “Based on the Risk Assessment Matrix and evaluation of current risks presented by leading international travel risk experts, governments, and COVID tracking sources, it remains the recommendation of this study that the ECAO proceed with plans to host the Annual Industry Conference in Prague, September 17-24, 2022.”

NETCO (National Electrical Trade Council) is an alliance of IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) and CECA (Canadian Electrical Contractor Association), their primary mandate is to promote national standards in electrical training.
