Pelles AI at NECA 2026

NECA 2026 is the National Electrical Contractors Association’s annual convention and trade show, held October 4–7, 2026 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. The 2026 edition marks NECA’s 125th anniversary and combines a trade show floor of more than 300 exhibitors in power, lighting, and communication technology with dozens of education sessions and workshops.

October 4–7, 2026 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, 3950 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119. Registration and the full agenda are on necaconvention.org.

Pelles AI is exhibiting at Booth #2027 on the NECA Show floor at Mandalay Bay, for all four days of the convention. Come by any time during exhibit hours for a live demo, or book a slot in advance so we can prepare a walkthrough against your own drawings and specs rather than our sample set.

Register at pelles.ai/neca-2026/happy-hour and we’ll send you the details. The happy hour runs Tuesday, October 6 from 4:00 – 6:00 PM, it’s free for NECA 2026 attendees, and drinks and snacks are on us. It’s at Mandalay Bay, the same hotel as the show floor, so you can walk there from the show. We’ll email the exact room once it’s set.

NECA 2026 draws electrical contractors working across power, lighting, and communication technology — largely owners, CEOs, presidents, and executives, along with the VPs, directors, and operations leaders who make technology decisions. Manufacturers and technology vendors serving the trade exhibit on the show floor.

NECA published member registration at $1,925 through August 12, 2026 and $2,300 after that date, with guest registration at $1,240 and $1,460 respectively. Check necaconvention.org for current rates before you register.

NECA publishes the full exhibitor list on necaconvention.org, and the 2026 show floor holds more than 300 exhibitors across power, lighting, and communication technology. Pelles AI is at Booth 2027, showing AI built specifically for trade contractors — reading drawings, specs, and contracts rather than generating text.

Pelles is a Trade Operating System: AI that runs your projects the way your best people would — on your own drawings, specs, and contracts, not on general knowledge. Pelles Core covers the everyday work: DoubleCheck answers questions straight from your documents with the source shown, Compare matches revisions across drawing sets and summarizes every change, and Reports produces proposals, pre-bid RFIs, BOMs, and change orders in the templates you already use. From there you build: agents that hold your standards, and apps shaped around workflows your team already runs. Kidwell, a 75-year-old electrical and low voltage contractor, standardized preconstruction on Pelles and cut 70–80% of the time its team spent reviewing plans and specifications.

General-purpose assistants have never seen one of your jobs — they don’t know your standards, your history, or your customers, and whatever your team teaches them in a chat doesn’t stick. Pelles runs on your own documents and project history, and what you build into it stays yours: your 500th job runs smarter than your first.
