The Evolution of the Electrical
Contractor as an Integrator
2:30 – 3:30pm
The evolution of technology in the industry is creating an
opportunity in what was once seen as a commodity – the
installation of low voltage cabling and devices. Technology
adoption in infrastructure, industrial, and commercial
projects continues to advance further fragmenting
installer expertise. Today’s Electrical contractors need
to be flexible, bringing a solutions-oriented approach
to client needs and serving as an integrator to capture
this growing segment of the market. Using examples
and case studies, this session will provide an overview
of the low voltage and automation market segments
that are evolving, their projected growth, and methods
of entering the market and go-to market strategies.
