April 21, 2023 – After a four-year absence, the MCEE Show was held across two days this past week at the Palais des congrès de Montreal.

Electrical Business Magazine was there—Booth 2409—to meet with both attendees and our fellow exhibitors.

MCEE is among the largest expos for mechanical, plumbing, hydronics, HVAC-R, electrical and lighting in Canada.

While the final numbers are not yet published, the event typically attracts some 6000 visitors, whose professions range from contractor and installer to maintenance, distributor, educator and others.

MCEE’s New Product Competition is always a highlight—this year, it attracted 59 entries! Of the nine award categories, three (3) are dedicated to Electrical, with two crossover categories.
