CANDLES and cakes will be the order of the
day in November as IWCS heads to Charlotte
in North Carolina, USA, to celebrate its 60
th
birthday.
The show, from 6
th
-9
th
November, sees
more than 100 companies head for the
Charlotte Convention Center for its diamond
anniversary exhibition.
Having attended a number of the IWCS
conferences I am under no illusion that this
year’s will be planned down to the very last
minor detail allowing all visitors to get the
most from the four-day event.
John Barteld, Pat Hudak, the directors and
committee should be applauded for their
sterling work over the years in making IWCS
one of the conferences that is a must on the
wire and cable calendars.
Of additional interest, and to help the 60
th
celebrations go with a bang, all registered
attendees are invited to a cocktail reception
on Monday, 7
th
November from 6.30-8pm.
The event is being hosted in the NASCAR
Hall of Fame, immediately adjacent to the
Charlotte Convention Center, where many
famous NASCAR vehicles are on display, and
there will be the chance, for a small fee, to
take a ride in a race simulator.
EuroWire’s sister publication, wiredInUSA
has a preview of the conference and can be
found at
www.wiredinusa.comI
would
like
to
offer
our
congratulations to
everyone involved
with IWCS and
here’s to the next
60 years.
