It’s Not too early to start planning your paper for the 2024 IWCS Forum
The 2024 Call for Papers will open later this year. The process for submitting abstracts will be very similar to previous years. Refer to the list of suggested topics below and start preparing your Technical Paper to submit for the IWCS 2024 Cable & Connectivity Industry Forum, taking place in Providence, Rhode Island, USA October 14–17, 2024. Sign up for the IWCS e-newsletter to receive important notifications regarding the 2023 IWCS Cable & Connectivity Industry Forum and the 2024 Call for Papers for next year’s event. Additional information will be shared soon.
Options to Present Papers at the IWCS Forum
IWCS offers two different options for presenting technical research at the IWCS Cable & Connectivity Industry Forum. Poster Presentations are recommended for first-time presenters, students, or individuals who may not be comfortable presenting during the Technical Symposium.
