An IBEW International Convention is a massive undertaking that relies on meticulous planning and the work of hundreds of individuals to make it a success.

Officers, staff and employees spent weeks behind the scenes—before, during and after—to make the 38th Convention one of the most successful and exciting in recent union history.

Riviers Electric and Houle Electric, signatory contractors that employ members of Vancouver Local 213, helped get the Vancouver Convention Centre wired and ready for the more than 2,000 delegates.

The IBEW thanks the many companies and union workers who helped out in Vancouver—from the broadcast professionals who set up a world-class communications system that wowed delegates, to the courteous hotel staffs—members of UNITE HERE—that made sure our stay in the city was top-notch.
