Panelists Announced for 2022 Young Professionals & Early Career Panel Discussion

IWCS 2022 Young Professionals and Early Career Panel Discussion Participants

Summary

Last year, Panel Discussions were introduced into the IWCS Cable & Connectivity Industry Forum for the first time and attendees reported great value from them, along with a desire continue them in future years. So, this year’s Forum will feature multiple Panel Discussions presented by influential industry leaders. The 2022 panel discussions focus on important topics: celebrating women in a historically male-dominated industry and advice for young industry professionals or individuals who may be early in their career. The panel discussions will include a question-and-answer period that allows the audience to engage with the panelists.

The Young Professionals & Early Career panel discussion, sponsored by Gem Gravure and Cable Components Group; hosted by WCMA focuses on building a successful career in the Cable & Connectivity Industry. Panelists will share their perspectives regarding common challenges getting started in the industry, career-building tips, and personal experiences attributed to their success. We will discuss emerging skills and technology that are important to our rapidly evolving industry, sustainability trends, and strategies to attract and retain talented young professionals. The discussion topics are geared towards those who are new to the industry as well as experienced professionals who may be recruiting now or in the future.
