Join us as Interwire presents: "Wire in Motion" May 5-10, 2007 • I-X Center, Cleveland, Ohio, USA
Exhibits: IFE Co-locates with Interwire Digital Attendee Brochure Interwire is an international trade event that includes exhibiting companies, speakers, and attendees from 50 countries around the world who want to attend the most important business week for wire and cable in the Americas.
The largest and longest-running wire and cable marketplace in the Americas, Interwire is also ranked as one of the 200 largest trade shows in the U.S. by Tradeshow Week magazine. Interwire is the place where buyers, sellers, researchers, and speakers connect with new contacts and colleagues. The show crosses dozens of vertical industries including automotive, construction, aerospace, transportation, and communications, to name a few.
Exhibits: IFE Co-locates with Interwire The event typically includes more than 500 exhibiting companies that supply or manufacture wire, cable and fastener, formed and fabricated wire products. In 2007, the co-location of the International Fastener Exposition, organized by The International Fastener Machinery & Suppliers Association (IFMSA), increases the overall footprint of the exhibition floor which is currently at 143,000 sq./ft. and is approaching sold-out status. See the current exhibitor list.
WAI's 77th Annual Convention will run in conjunction with Interwire 2007. It will include an extensive technical papers program, a facility tour to Charter Steel plant, an awards ceremony, committee meetings, and industry networking activities—like the Charity Golf Tournament and the Opening Reception—a keynote address by NAM's Patrick Cleary, and other informational exchanges and general interest sessions. WAI's technical program allows delegates to learn about the newest research findings on the industry’s hottest topics and trends that affect the ferrous, nonferrous, fiber optic, electrical, fastener, and general-interest disciplines. View technical paper titles. Seminars with practical instruction include a two-day course on the Fundamentals of Wire Manufacturing—a program taught by eight instructors in ferrous and nonferrous/electrical segments—and a two-day Steel Wire Workshop that includes classroom instruction on wire properties, processing, and failure analysis, as well as a tour of Charter Steel's nearby plant. The 2007 program includes a series of "Production Solutions" that will be presented in a demonstration format on the exhibition floor. Read about these how-to sessions. Special presentations entitled: "Strategies for Competing and Winning in the Global Marketplace"; and "Where is the money in Wire & Cable?" will be be offered Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.
