A Day of Networking, Learning, and Delicious Food
The Energy Expo was packed with activities and opportunities for our 500+ expo attendees. Guests were welcomed by the enticing aroma of hamburgers and brats on the grill, courtesy of Graybar and their dedicated team that came out to serve our members and students from their custom grill trailer. Graybar’s generous contribution of food and drinks elevated the event, ensuring attendees enjoyed a delicious meal while mingling with industry peers. Thank you, Graybar! Also, a big shoutout goes to BLS Electrical for sponsoring the ice cream dessert. What a treat on such a hot day!
