What are the best electrical trade shows? I primarily do high end residential and light commercial work, and like to stay current on whats new. I also wouldn't mind writing off a vacation this year.

NECA ones seem to be the best. All the big boys come to show there stuff. As mentioned Boston is the next one in October. I'm pretty sure you can buy tickets for just the trade show and not the whole package.
