What prior attendees are saying

“IWCS really helps individuals stay abreast of the latest technologies and trends within the industry. The event was well organized, in a good facility with very good exhibitor booths and interesting presentations.”

Chris H. Cimteq Ltd

“This was an excellent conference that I recommend to all my friends in the wire & cable Industry. The show had it all, presentations on key topics and issues, and an excellent Supplier Exhibition featuring a lot of new technologies.”

-Christopher B. BASF

“The Executive Session is always great and meeting with vendors is a huge plus for me and my team.”

Brett V. AFL

“My favorite part has always been the economic overview presented by Dr. Fry. I hear a lot about the economy on TV and the internet, and I don’t know who to believe. However, his presentations are straightforward, honest, and supported by lots of data and analysis. Additionally, I like the technical presentations. The papers give a good summary of the latest innovations and trends in the business.”

William H. Corning Optical Communications

“I liked that the schedule had a different focus for each day – allowing time to participate in things without the sense that there were events competing for time/attention.”

Ted C. CommScope

“Great to be back live at IWCS where we were able to come together with our customers and numerous prospects and accomplish over several days what would normally take months to deliver. IWCS proved they have the professional acumen to deliver an exceptional business cultivating experience.”

Allan M. SACO AEI Polymers

“We are all trying to learn new ways to communicate, and I am glad to see IWCS is leading the charge by coming up with innovative ways for companies all through the wire and cable supply chain to communicate.”
