Set in Istanbul, Turkey—one of the largest cities in Europe, which is also the only metropolis situated on two continents—the event is next in the series of anticipated conferences by the WAI, ACIMAF, CET, and IWMA sponsors designed to surface big ideas and relevant dialogue. These educational conferences, which are hosted in a different country each year, bring together industry experts from around the world who share the latest research findings in a particular segment of the wire and cable industry with their peers and colleagues. Usually scheduled over a two- to three-day period, the International Technical Conferences include white paper presentations—which are typically offered with simultaneous translation—a tabletop exhibition, plant tours, guest tours, and social functions.
