The whole wire and cable industry seems to be on
the move, with three exhibitions and conferences
taking part around the globe towards the end of
2017.
Our sister magazine,
Wire & Cable ASIA
, will host
coverage of this year’s wire Southeast Asia, being
staged in Bangkok, from 19
th
to 21
st
September.
This issue of
EuroWire
concentrates on the two
October fairs, enticing the industry to both South
and North America.
Firstly, it is the turn of wire South America to
make its biennial appearance, with exhibitors and
visitors alike converging on the São Paulo Expo
Exhibition & Convention Center in Brazil from 3
rd
to 5
th
October.
Experts believe that Brazil will emerge from
recession this year and, being rich in resources, it
has enormous potential for investment in the wire
and cable industries.
Products from the sector are of major importance
for Brazil’s industry in general, particularly in view
of planned investments in the construction and
automotive sectors, and renewable energies. Our
coverage starts on page 58.
Just days later – from 8
th
to 11
th
October – the
sector turns its attention northwards to the
Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in
Orlando, Florida, USA, for the 66
th
annual IWCS.
The latest technologies will be presented in a
symposium format during the three-day show,
with professional development courses and
tutorials. As part of this, there will be expanded
sessions on connectivity within the industry.
Running alongside the symposium will be the
suppliers
exhibition,
providing an excellent
chance to view the
latest
developments
in an ideal networking
format. Turn to page 56
for more details.
