About Connect

The Journey to CES Connect

The bi-annual conference hosted by City Electric Supply (CES) started in 2014 for 140 attendees. By 2018, the attendee count had risen to 1,300, and it's continued to grow into one of the industry's largest events at over 2,000 professionals and 60 vendor partners. In 2022, what was known as the North American Managers' Conference (NAMC) was rebranded to CES Connect, providing a unique opportunity for prominent decision-makers (like you!) to build connections, engage with leaders of the company for real-time business updates, and dive into the latest and most innovative products and solutions the industry has to offer.
