“Win More with Leviton” at the 2026 NECA Convention in October
Leviton’s booth and presence at the NECA Convention will offer the latest in cutting-edge, contractor-facing solutions across all segments
This October 4th-7th, tens of thousands of contractors nationwide will converge on Las Vegas to attend the 2026 NECA Convention and Trade Show, one of the electrical contracting industry’s most renowned annual forums for the latest on new products, industry trends, and training. This year’s show will also celebrate NECA’s milestone 125th anniversary and its many generations of industry leadership, innovation, and impact. Through it all, Leviton, a NECA Premier Partner, will be front and center, participating in both the event’s trade show and conference portions in a big way and demonstrating Leviton’s long-standing commitment to the electrical contracting industry and its proud professionals.
“We see the NECA Convention as a great opportunity to connect with the nation’s electrical contractors to solicit their feedback and understand their challenges,” shared Steve Doty, Leviton’s Senior Manager of Contractor Marketing. “Our ongoing discussions with contractors help us understand the market so that we can develop the targeted Leviton products, services, and training opportunities that will truly meet contractors’ needs and help build the next generation of electrical professionals.”
Three Major Focal Points
According to Doty, both the products on display and the Leviton experts representing them at the company’s booth have been strategically selected to maximize value for attendees.
“This year’s Leviton booth has three major focal points – our ‘Whole Home Leviton’ display (anchored by the Leviton Load Center), the expansion of Leviton’s marine portfolio with premium dockside power/Power Pedestals, accessory solutions, and the introduction of International Dock Products (anchored by our dock mock-up display), and our industry-leading range of contractor training opportunities,” Doty said.
“Other key contractor-facing products on display within our 30’ X 30’ booth will include Leviton’s Series 2500 VerifEye Submeter System and Smart Sensor/GreenConnect Wireless Lighting Control for the Commercial segment, ArcArrest Switch-Rated Pin & Sleeve devices and Inform conditioning-monitoring technology for the Industrial segment, Advanced No-Neutral (2-Wire) Dimmers and GFCI/USB combination outlets for the Residential segment, and Pin & Sleeve/Cams for Data Centers,” Doty said. “We’ll also have displays featuring Leviton Smart Home products like our new Decora Smart Wi-Fi Dimmer and Decora Slide Dimmer as well as our Decora Smart High Current 60A Controller, which allows an EV charger or another high current appliance to be added to a home with undersized service.”
In addition to Data Center, Energy Management, Automation, and Smart Home solutions, Leviton’s booth will also promote its extensive range of contractor training opportunities, including its Contractor Connect Training series, EV and Submetering Pro Certification programs, and support of educational sessions, apprenticeship programs, advanced technology training, and other valuable resources for contractors.
Go All In with Leviton
In keeping with the Las Vegas and ‘Win More with Leviton’ themes, “we’ll have a blackjack table with a professional blackjack dealer and special poker chips at our booth so that visitors can enjoy some gaming,” Doty said. “We’re offering prizes for lucky winners, including metal water bottles, duffel bags, and hats, and it will be a fun way for contractors to interact with our booth and staff in true Vegas style.”
For the conference portion of the NECA Convention, eight prominent products that Leviton released within the past year will be among those considered for NECA’s annual Showstopper Showcase, a prestigious recognition platform for manufacturers in the electrical construction industry.
“All of the products we submitted, including our new downlighting, 60A current controller, and LeverEdge solutions, reflect our ongoing commitment to introducing breakthrough technology and pushing the innovation envelope,” Doty said. “Kit Gaines, Construction Technical Specialist at Leviton, will present on the topic of “Power + Data: How Electrical Contractors Drive the Smart Building Era” on October 6th at 3 p.m. and share how building systems are evolving into integrated, data-driven networks and what this means for electrical contractors.”
“As Leviton celebrates its own landmark 120th anniversary this year, we’re proud of our history and unique ability to help shape the industry thanks to our longevity, expertise, and strong, long-standing partnership with NECA,” Doty said. “Visitors to this year’s NECA Convention will see the Leviton products and services that enable contractors to Learn more, Do more, Sell more, and win more jobs, and we’re excited to meet show attendees,” Doty confirmed.
“Ultimately, Leviton recognizes the diverse skills that all electrical contractors possess and the wide variety of customers they serve, and our breadth of solutions is designed to help move the whole industry forward, from our most niche products to our top-selling smart home solutions, durable GFCI receptacles, and other workhorse products that have made Leviton a trusted industry leader for generations,” Doty said. “We learn so much from contractors in general and truly appreciate hearing what they’re experiencing day-to-day so that we can use that information to refine our offerings in ways that help bring contractors greater performance, ease of installation, efficiency, safety, and profit.”
