Align Announces Exhibit at National Electrical Contractors Association 2020 Live Virtual Conference

Company is a live exhibitor with technology partner DEWALT® at annual trade conference, October 6–8, 2020.

DENVER (October 1, 2020) ― Align Technologies (formerly ToolWatch), a leading provider of equipment, tool, and materials management systems, announces its participation as a live, virtual exhibitor at the annual National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) 2020 Live Convention and Trade Show. This year’s NECA conference, which includes an interactive trade show floor, extensive educational opportunities, and informative talks, will be entirely virtual, including all exhibit booths. Align and its technology partner, DEWALT, will team up to elaborate on their recent software integration designed to improve companies’ overall tool ownership experience.

“We’re excited to be participating virtually in this event and especially welcome the opportunity to describe our recent technology collaboration with DEWALT,” said Don Kafka, CEO of Align. “The online platform will enable both Align and DEWALT to reach an even broader audience than we would see during a typical convention event.”

Align’s virtual booth this year will feature in‐depth exploration of the company’s commitment to enabling companies in the construction industry to manage critical information about field and warehouse operation assets. Visitors to the Align virtual booth will be able to connect with company representatives as well as view instructive videos, like the interactive, fully illustrated Align catalog. Now fully integrated with DEWALT TOOL CONNECT™, the Align catalog provides detailed product information and lets users annotate individual entries and update inventory efficiently, accurately, in real‐time.

A key feature of this year’s exhibit will be an emphasis on Align’s strategic collaborations with software platforms whose products and systems complement the Align system. These collaborations optimize their clients’ operating and financial performance through seamlessly integrating Align with other cloud‐based enterprise systems.

The technology integration partnership with DEWALT TOOL CONNECT, a three‐part inventory management system that connects, tracks and customizes tools across multiple job sites, is the most recent such collaboration and was announced in April 2020. Details about the partnership will be unveiled in a webinar on October 8, and an Align representative will be at the DEWALT booth for a Q&A after the webinar.

All presentations and exhibits will be streamed online through the NECA 2020 Live website during the conference, as well as accessible on‐demand through early November. Interested companies can register at https://www.necaconvention.org/ and will be given details about the Align and DEWALT booth locations on registration.
