We have received positive feedback regarding this year’s shows and greatly appreciate everyone who took the time to attend and upskill themselves. We again had a variety of important updates from our industry speakers, as well as the great products and services on display from our dedicated sponsors. Our Annual Roadshow is the only electrical industry roadshow that travels across all regions of South Australia, and this is reflected in the growing number of attendees and sponsors we have every year. This year we heard from SA Power Networks about their new Service and Installation Rules as well as some other updates, and the Office of the Technical Regulator spoke about all the latest rules and regulation changes. In addition, NECA presented on the new Certified Contractor Program and provided an update on the Dual Apprenticeship pathway. The line-up of presentations was well received by all who attended. We wish to sincerely thank everyone who attended this year’s seminars and thoroughly enjoyed catching up with members across the regions. While we missed a few locations this year due to COVID-19, we hope to be back to our regular schedule next year. Last, but certainly not least, we greatly appreciate the dedication and support
of our sponsors and presenters because without them it would be extremely difficult to run these seminars. It was great to see a record number of sponsors supporting our seminars this year and we have received fantastic feedback from them all. If you have any questions or feedback about the Roadshow Seminars, please contact Leah Boyce at the NECA SA/NT office on (08) 8272 2966.
