segments of connectivity and wiring
harness products with the joining
of the IICIT (International Institute
of Connector and Interconnection
Technology) Symposium with IWCS.
Additional conference tracks, professional
development offerings and exhibition
spotlights that target the interests and
needs of the interconnect community are
planned for 2011.
Abstracts are sought from academic,
manufacturing and user communities
worldwide, including subject matter
experts, application solutions providers
and product innovators, as well as
professionals who are engaged in the
various industry segments.

and conductor design; advances in cable
materials; developments in processing
and manufacturing; present and future
network demands; assembly and
installation techniques; connectivity
issues; wiring harness design and
challenges; market studies; and testing
and standards.
