Last year Gexpro participated in the Electric Association’s ChicaGOGreen Conference, which resulted in a multi-million dollar design-build solar photovoltaic installation contract for a branch of the US-Armed Forces.

The project would not have come about without our attendance at the conference and a referral from a participant we met onsite.

The networking & information sharing opportunities offered through the Electric Association are a tremendous value to the conference participants and the Industry at large.
