It’s show time: Interwire 2005

The Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta is preparing to host Interwire 2005 from 14–19th May 2005, while show organiser the Wire Association International (WAI) also gears up for its 75th Anniversary celebrations.

The biennial Interwire event is the largest trade show of its kind in the Americas for the wire and cable manufacturing industry, offering a ‘one-stop-shop’ meeting point for suppliers, manufacturers and buyers from around the globe. Exhibitor support is anticipated to exceed 500 companies in 2005.

Concurrent activities include the 75th Annual Convention – complete with technical theme sessions, special show-floor presentations, poster paper discussions, networking social events and WAI business meetings.

Starting on page 30, this issue of EuroWire has a preview of Interwire 2005. It lists exhibitors and their booth numbers and includes some highlights of what to expect to see there in terms of equipment, products and services.

Steven Fetteroll, WAI Executive Director, comments: “After a difficult period for the wire and cable industry worldwide, the current economic signals are more positive than they have been in the past three-to-five years. Whether it is a process improvement or an expansion of production, companies are preparing future capital expenditures now and as a result, Interwire is uniquely positioned with more than 500 exhibiting companies and 50 technical sessions showcasing the best of the industry.”

Anand Bhagwat, WAI’s 2005 President, adds: “Interwire has long attracted key decision makers – nearly 90% of the attendees at the 2003 show indicated they were involved in the purchasing process.”
