EuroWire September 2016

It may well be the holiday season, but it seems the wire and cable shows are also coming thick and fast at this time of year. In May it was the turn of the industry across the Atlantic to make its mark on the exhibition circuit with the staging of Wire Expo in Connecticut, USA. More than 1,400 visitors headed to the show in the heart of New England. President Andy Talbot, of organisers the Wire Association International, described the three-day event as ‘outstanding’. The full review starts on page 52. It is also time to look forward in this issue to three exhibitions across the globe. Our preview of wire China, running from 26 th to 29 th September, starts on page 56. Over 57,500m 2 of exhibition space has been booked to accommodate more than 1,000 Chinese and international companies exhibiting in Shanghai. It is then the turn of IWCS, which takes place in October in Rhode Island, USA. Turn to page 54 for our coverage, but look out for exhibitor listings in the forthcoming issues of sister publication wiredInUSA . Generally accepted as the leading technical symposium in the industry, IWCS has personal development programmes, a long list of papers from leading names in the industry, and a suppliers exhibition all running alongside each other from 2 nd to 5 th October. It is then a move back to the Indian subcontinent with the staging of Wire & Cable India from 5 th to 7 th October at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai, India. Taking you to the USA, China and India
