The Association of Electrical Contractors (Ireland) (AECI) hosted its flagship annual trade show and seminar series at the Spa Hotel in Lucan on May 28, drawing strong attendance from across the electrical industry. The event served as a platform for showcasing the latest technologies, networking, and continuing professional development. This year’s edition saw unprecedented interest in its morning seminars, leading organisers to schedule repeat sessions in the afternoon to accommodate demand. Kicking off at 8:30 AM, the seminars covered a range of vital industry topics. Highlights included insights from Safe Electric on electronic certification and periodic inspections, a presentation on the latest lighting control innovations from Hager, and a session on upcoming changes to wiring regulations led by Brendan Dervan of Best Training. Rob Sutton of ESB also spoke about code of practice, change over switches and grid issues. After the technical sessions, the new AECI President Darren Kinsella together with IEBA President Cel O’Reilly formally opened the trade show portion of the day, offering attendees an overview of the Irish Electrical Benevolent Association’s work and upcoming initiatives. More than 40 exhibitors participated, demonstrating cutting-edge products and services across the electrical contracting landscape. While attendance was strongest during the morning, there was steady engagement throughout the day. The AECI extended its appreciation to all attendees and exhibitors for their continued support, reaffirming its commitment to advancing Ireland’s electrical contracting sector.
