Build powerful career connections with IEC contractors and industry partners during our 2‑day BBQ & Chili Cook-Off and apprentice Wire-Off.

Kick off Friday night by sampling top-tier appetizers at the Meet & Greet and diving into the excitement of our Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament. Return Saturday morning for a hot Pancake Breakfast served by Boy Scout Troop 336, then jump into the action as teams compete across five flavor-packed cooking categories. Throughout the day, cheer on our 4th‑year apprentices as they battle head‑to‑head—bending conduit, completing motor control challenges, and proving their skills.

We’ll wrap up the event by crowning the BBQ & Chili Cook-Off Grand Champion and celebrating the 2026 IEC Fort Worth Wire-Off Champion, who will advance to Nationals.
