EIN IDEAL Nashville 400

Feb 20, 2020

This fall, Canada’s elite electricians and apprentices will be heading to Nashville, Tennessee for three electrifying days of competition and camaraderie. 

Last November, 18 of Canada’s best electricians and apprentices earned the chance to compete in Orlando, Florida, where the Nationals have been held since their inception. 2019 marked the first ever International Competition. Paul Hannania represented Canada, competing against finalists from China, Austrailia, and the U.S. to win a Dodge RAM 1500 pickup truck.

The 2020 IDEAL Nationals will take place November 4-6 at Music City Centre, located in the heart of Downtown Nashville. This change in venue is just one of the exciting changes competitors can expect in 2020. Stay tuned to IDEAL’s website and social media outlets for the latest announcements.
