Description

Get ready to Leave Your Legacy at the Wisconsin Chapter of NECA's 2026 Summer Meeting at the Legacy Hotel in Green Bay, WI, on July 22-24, 2026. 

VENUE

Legacy Hotel is a locally owned and operated luxury, all-suite boutique property designed with both hotel guests and the community in mind. Located one block from Lambeau Field, Legacy Hotel shows the finest Green Bay's famed Stadium District has to offer. All experiences are managed with the utmost care by our exceptional leadership team and staff. Aligned with Wyndham Rewards, our bookings and reservations are conveniently available online.

GENERAL SESSION

Our featured speaker is Mike Foster from the Foster Institute. This session is broken up into two four-hour mornings to help absorb and retain the information.

Understanding and Using AI for Electrical Contractors
AI is changing how electrical contractors run their businesses, but many members are left wondering where to start or what the next step is. This two-day workshop is built specifically for the Wisconsin Chapter of NECA. Attendees will experience an informative discussion and receive practical guidance tailored to how members can benefit from AI, drawing from conversations with several of your colleagues about the real pain points related to implementing AI in their businesses. Topics include a discussion on exactly what "AI" is in the context of electrical contractors, strategies on how to keep your private data secure, how to use AI for everyday tasks like email and contract reviews, the evolving world of AI agents that help handle boring but necessary administrative work, and how to follow AI advances at the level you actually need. The session will cover recently released tools that are easier to use than what was available even a few months ago. The session is designed for all experience levels, from those who have never used AI to those already exploring it. Optional hands-on exercises throughout the two days will give members a chance to try AI tools on their own laptops, while others have the option to simply watch and learn. 

GUEST EVENT

Due to the change in format this summer, there is not a guest event. All guests will be welcome to participate in the Lambeau Field tours.

BANQUET

Our Banquet is being held half a block away from Legacy Hotel at the Fire & Fir Event Hall on the third floor of the new Great North Commons building.  Summer elevated casual attire is requested.  Entertainment will be provided by the Johnny Wad Band.

Lead by four lead vocalists, spine tingling harmonies, dual lead guitars and musicianship, Johnny Wad will knock you out. They recreate the best of the 80s and 90s with a can't miss party attitude.
