All Things Media Ltd (ATM) have made the difficult but unavoidable decision to remove ECN Live! 2026 from the events calendar for the electrical contracting market sector for this year. The decision has been made and all companies already booked to appear have been informed.

ATM will be taking the opportunity to concentrate on the company’s other well-established and industry-leading platforms, ECN (Electrical Contracting News) and electricalcontractingnews.com, to ensure the team continues to fully support the sector and allow companies to deliver their important messages to key audiences. Providing a high-quality printed title that differentiates ECN from an often crowded and confusing print and online world, the magazine will continue to provide a clear and concise way for manufacturers, distributors, and service providers to deliver clear messaging to a targeted audience. The magazine’s sister website will of course deliver all the capabilities that a digital platform can offer to engage and inspire an audience.

David Kitchener, Founder and CEO of All Things Media, says, “Our team this year have made a sterling effort to get the show on, and ATM itself has made a significant financial investment to the same ends. However, it has become clear that there simply is not the desire and budgets for an ECN Live! in 2026. It is frustrating that global headwinds and economic factors out of our control have led to this decision, but we must deal with market realities and continue to develop our other platforms so that we continue to support the electrical contracting world in every way we can. If anyone has questions about the decision or the future of the show, please do get in touch.”
