NECA Emerge Conference 2026

Presented by: The National Electrical Contractors Association

 The National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) Emerge Conference 2026 is a Specialty Work and Emerging Opportunities Conference that consolidates contractor areas and key business trends, streamlining efficiency and travel for National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) contractors and stakeholders. 

Hear from a Southland expert: 

Join Michael Starego, Principal Engineer, as he speaks at a Limited Energy & Systems Integration breakout session: "Rethinking Power Distribution: Comparing Fault-Managed Power and Traditional Alternating Current (AC) Systems in High-Performance Data Centers." In this session, he'll discuss power distribution architecture and how it has become a critical design decision as data centers continue to push towards higher densities, lower energy costs, and more. 

Additionally, this panel will cover the findings of a white paper highlighting how Class 4 Fault Managed Power (FMP) systems differ fundamentally from conventional AC approaches and digital power supports the next generation of AI and HPC. 

This session's main takeaways will include the advantages of Fault Managed Power (FMP), the role of AC, and how Alternating Current (AC)/Direct Current (DC) strategies help shape the future of data center power delivery.
