Today was the first official day of NECA, and the entire EC&M team had a blast with Trevor Ottmann, president of 3/0 Electric and EC&M's The Everyday Electrician! This morning started off with registration followed by meeting readers/followers at the EC&M booth (#2129), handing out free shirts and hats, entering folks into our e-bike giveaway, and checking out new products at different manufacturer booths. Watch this Instagram Reel to see what his busy morning looked like on day one of NECA.

After a busy day, Trevor also took some time to highlight some of the fun things he got to experience today on the show floor — job related and just for fun.

Trevor will be at NECA again tomorrow for day two, so follow us on your preferred social accounts to see what he's up to. And if you're attending the show in person, visit our booth for a chance to enter for a free e-bike or grab a free Everyday Electrician shirt. See you soon!
