IWCS conference
a great success –
organisers
Perfect weather proved not to be a
distraction as 900 delegates were kept
busy at this year’s 56th IWCS Conference in
Orlando, Florida, USA.
More than 105 papers were presented
by their authors, with the consensus of
the organising committee being that the
overall quality was excellent, with many
break-through technologies in evidence.
The Focus Suppliers Exhibition made
certain that there was no ‘down time’
for delegates as 110 industry suppliers
provided information on their latest
products and technologies.
The Executive Forum once again provided
information of strategic value to the
leadership in the wire and cable industry,
including a view of future technologies
being delivered today.
The professional development courses
experienced their highest enrolment in
several years, with nearly 130 courses
subscribed by attendees.
Now the challenge is to maintain the
momentum generated as planning begins
for the 2008 event, scheduled for 9th-12th
November at the Rhode Island Convention
Center in Providence RI.
