corporate news
Interwire 2001 will be bigger and better
than ever as the influential event returns
to Atlanta, Georgia, USA, in May.
The Wire Association International has
already annouced that it has sold more
than 95 per cent of its allotted 103,000ft
2
of exhibit space.
In a show of support for WAI, the American
Wire Producers Association (AWPA) will
again align its Supply Chain Symposium,
to be held on 2 and 3 May, with a Wire
Association event at the Georgia World
Congress Center, where the event first
originated 30 years ago.
“WAI has developed a close working
relationship
with
the
AWPA.
By
coordinating event schedules both
organisations can accommodate the
ferrous sector and benefit from the
participation of the groups’ members.
We’re fortunate to have AWPA’s ongoing
support,” said WAI executive director
Steven Fetteroll.
AWPA executive director Kimberly Korbel
said: “We were very pleased with the
success of the inaugural Supply Chain
Symposium held alongside Wire Expo, last
May. This industry event was sponsored
by the Wire Association and several
other ferrous wire and wire products
associations. Their support and marketing
efforts were invaluable in launching an
event which showcases a new level of
industry cooperation.”
Support
for
Interwire’s
technical
programme is also notable with more
than 30 scheduled paper presentations
over three days. WAI’s technical
programme content will be divided
into three new theme days: Metals
& Materials; Manufacturing Best
Practices; and Green Initiatives.
