MCEE Expo: A Great Success After Four Years Away

April 24, 2023

By Elle Bremmer

On Wednesday April 19 and Thrusday April 20, MCEE Expo opened its doors at the Palais des congrès in Montréal to more than 6000 students, contractors, business owners, and many others in the electrical and lighting industries. Due to the pandemic, it had been four years since the last MCEE was held, and both visitors and exhibitors alike were happy to be there to show off new products, developments, and connect with others in the industry.

MCEE Expo also hosted its New Product competition, which featured categories such as domestic electrical products, interior and exterior lighting products, commercial and industrial lighting products, among other categories in the plumbing and HVAC sectors. Stand out winners on the electrical side came from ABB Electrification Canada, RVE, Signify, and Lutron Electronics.

One electrical contractor visitor remarked how happy he was to be back after four years:

“It is great to be back out here and see things returning to life. Things weren’t easy for our industry during the pandemic, and I am thrilled to see it making a comeback. The number of students here also gives me hope for the future, especially in the onslaught of the labour shortages all of the industries represented here today are facing. I hope events like these continue, and that we keep reaching out to more of the population. I just think it is great.”
