It's a month earlier, in a new city, the first under its new chief
executive, and IWCS technical symposium is about to throw
open its doors from 5th to 8th October.
This annual conference and exhibition is being held at the Hyatt
Regency Hotel, Atlanta, USA, in a break from its more traditional
homes in Providence, Rhode Island, and Charlotte, North
Carolina.
It is, however, fair to say that the 64th staging is as eagerly
anticipated as normal. Chief executive Dave Kiddoo, who has
been in the role since January this year, said: “I’ve been very
involved with IWCS for over 20 years, but in the last nine months
or so I’ve gotten a whole new perspective and appreciation for
this unique conference.
“I have an incredible sense of respect for the value that IWCS
brings to our industry over the years, all the technical advances
that have been presented here, the networking opportunities
and more. I feel an incredible sense of responsibility to keep these
expectations for IWCS growing. I am most pleased to say that I
expect attendees are going to like the 2015 program as well as
the earlier dates and new location in Atlanta this year.”
