The wire and cable exhibition season is full steam ahead with wire 2014 in Düsseldorf, Gemany, and then Wire Expo in Indianapolis, USA, from 5 th to 7 th May. Both sections feature heavily in the largest-ever issue of wiredInUSA – the Düsseldorf section starts on page 66 and Wire Expo on page 46. If you’re attending either show, please feel free to stop by and collect your free CD copy of wiredInUSA and copies of sister publications EuroWire and Wire & Cable ASIA. In Germany we can be found on stand 11D28 and at booth 108 at Wire Expo. America’s first offshore wind farm is also taking shape, with Prysmian and Caldwell Marine International being awarded contracts for the provision and installation of intra-array, export power and underwater cables for the site. See page 9 for the full story. Repair work has also been undertaken on suspension cables at the William E Gordon radio telescope in Puerto Rico following damage during an earthquake measuring 6.4 magnitude in January. Read all about it on page 10. David Bell Editor
