Expect plenty to see, learn and do at the Wire Association International (WAI) Inc Wire Expo 2008, June 7 th to 11 th .

W AI’s Wire Expo event began in 1990, and has visited a new US venue every other year since then. The event schedule coincides with WAI’s Annual Convention (2008 will be the 78 th ) and features exhibits, technical paper presentations, plant or area tours, network- ing, and social activities offering visitors and exhibitors fresh insights to the wire and cable industry in a convenient and relevant location. Wire Expo 2008 will take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a city situated at the conver- gence of three rivers, accommodating 944 bridges, and recognised for its important industrial history. Pittsburgh today is home to over 170 research laboratories and can claim more doctoral scientists and engineers per capita than Boston, Los Angeles or San Francisco. For more information about visiting Pittsburgh, see www.visitpittsburgh.org Presentations and exhibitions will be held in the award-winning David L Lawrence Convention Center – the only meeting venue of its type to be awarded the Gold LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) by the US Green Building Council.
