61st IWCS conference
at Rhode Island
Rhode Island Convention Center, Providence,
USA, is the venue this month as the 61st
International Wire and Cable Symposium arrives
in town.
This well respected conference and exhibition
is the premier technology event in the wire and
cable industry where product design, materials,
applications and processes are presented in a
symposium format.
For more than 60 years, the IWCS – a non-profit
organisation – has planned, promoted and
coordinated the exchange of technical
information on wire, cable and fibre optics within
industry and government. And this year is no
exception over the week where industry experts
deliver speeches and white papers on changes
during the last 12 months.
In addition to this, the programme includes
professional development courses on Sunday,
10th November providing tutorials on basic and
emerging technologies, and a suppliers exhibition
with more than 100 companies on display.
This year’s event also sees a return of the
popular Monday night football, hosted by Cable
Components, in the ballroom from 6pm on the
Monday, 11th November.
This year’s event will see Troy Brown, a former
wide receiver with the New England Patriots,
giving opening comments and signing
autographs.
The confernce gets underway on Sunday, 10th
November, with personal development courses,
followed by 17 sessions on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday.
The exhibition runs on Tuesday from 2pm-6pm
and on Wednesday from 10am-6pm, again at the
Rhode Island Convention Center.
