All the hard work looks to have paid dividends for
organizers at this year's IWCS technical symposium
with a ten percent increase in visitor numbers to
the show in Providence, Rhode Island.
This is also on the back of a hectic three or four
months in the wire and cable calendar, with both
wire China and Wire India taking place and many
in the industry traveling to all corners of the globe.
But the success of IWCS seems to highlight the
thirst for knowledge of people in the industry,
especially with the technical symposium being
extended by half a day to allow time to complete
the program of more than 120 technical
presentations. You can catch up on the news from
IWCS on page 20.
Also worth reading from the UK-side of the pond
is the news that Bridon has opened its new plant,
built to construct the world's largest andmost com-
plex offshore ropes. You can find this on page 30.
All of us at wiredInUSA and sister publications
EuroWire and Wire & Cable ASIA would also like
to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry
Christmas and prosperous New Year.
