6 Proof Positive Just a few of the Many Comments Received This year s NECA Show in Seattle has been one of the best yet for Milwaukee Tool. Our partnership with NECA continues to be very successful at both the national and local level. Bill Hughes, Sr. Vice President, Milwaukee Tool The 2017 NECA Convention has provided me numerous opportunities to gain knowledge of labor savings ideas on new tools, safety, processes, and software to gain a competitive advantage in our industry. Best NECA Convention yet, they continue to raise the bar each year. David Gross, President, Henderson Services Just had to say again, as I completed my pass thru your NECA website, looking at the educational and various workshops (convention education and technical workshops) you are offering; unbelievable! You guys have managed to touch on virtually every topic that is such a "value add" to your members. If I was attending this as an electrical professional, I would be worried that the number of opportunities to improve my business outweigh the energy I could muster for 3-4 straight days. Well done! I m excited to have been a part of this. Jim Donald, former CEO of several major companies including Starbucks, Pathmark Stores and Haggen Food & Pharmacy. Oct. 9 Keynote Speaker The Showstopper Showcase is where they put all the newest products for you to view in one area. So, if you don t have as much time to spend at the show, you can spend it very efficiently here. The NECA Show is a great event. Brian Dew, Mid-City Electric Company The best thing about the NECA Show is that everything and everyone is so approachable. Laura Lacombie, Sprig Electric Co. I just wanted to reach out to you and let you know after 20 years attending the NECA show, the 2017 show was awesome, best show ever, well attended by decision makers. We at itoolco are already excited for next year! Thanks to you for all the hard work that I know went into making it a successful show for all. Mike Jordan, Executive Vice President, itoolco
