2022 Call for Papers is Now Closed
As always, great care was taken while choosing the papers to be presented at the 2022 IWCS Cable & Connectivity Industry Forum. Thirty members of the IWCS 2022 Symposium Committee, representing companies from seven unique countries, met in April to review hundreds of responses to the Call for Papers. Resulting from the strong Technical Paper submissions and carefully curated program will be an extremely high-caliber Technical Symposium, which is the cornerstone of the annual Cable & Connectivity Industry Forum. View the Event Program to preview the technical papers that will be presented at this year’s event.

New Opportunities for Authors!
Celebrating the Women of Our Industry
The 2022 Cable & Connectivity Industry Forum will feature special components that celebrate the women of our industry. One way our female colleagues will be recognized is by hosting a new session during the Technical Symposium Papers that features papers contributed by our female colleagues. When submitting an abstract, female authors can choose for their paper to be included in this distinguished session. Learn about IWCS’s celebration of Women’s History Month in our recent news article.
