Wire Expo 2008

Wire Expo 2008 is an opportunity to make contacts, sharpen up on best manufacturing practice and learn from in-depth technical presentations from acknowledged experts in the field. Technical information will suit all levels of expertise and the event begins with a back-to-basics two-day workshop for students and newcomers to the industry. Social and networking functions will include a baseball outing to PNC Park, and the ‘see and be seen’ Opening Reception to be held on the rooftop of the convention centre to a backdrop of exceptional city views. Before the presentations begin, Sunday offers the chance to explore Pittsburgh’s industrial heritage with the Carrie Furnace Hard Hat tour, a renovation project based around the Monongahela Valley’s oldest blast furnace. Full details for both attendees and exhibitors, can be found at: www.wirenet.org/events/wireexpo
