The 2026 ACES G.R.I.D. EXPO at the Concord Convention Center in Concord, North Carolina, will feature over 40 notable vendors, including iTool, Harger, Siemens and more. Set for February 18, 2026, 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM at 5400 John Q. Hammons Dr NW, this event offers a focused opportunity for professionals to network, explore the latest tools and technologies, and have a chance to win door prizes.
NEW this year, the ACES G.R.I.D Yard. An area within the EXPO designed as a dedicated space for connection, growth, and resources beyond the manufacturer booths. Step into a hub built specifically for electrical contractors and business owners, where you can discover tools to grow your business, develop your career, and strengthen your team.
From workforce development and safety resources to technology partners, professional organizations, and trade education programs, the G.R.I.D. Yard brings together the people and platforms that power success in our industry.
This is more than a trade show, it’s where innovation meets opportunity. When you register for the NFPA 2023 NEC Changes Seminar, you are automatically registered for the trade show.
IF you will not be joining for the seminar, please register as "G.R.I.D. EXPO ONLY." We want to be sure we have enough goodies for everyone attending.
