Messe Düsseldorf premieres the wire & Cable FORUM at wire 2026

Messe Düsseldorf is strengthening its position in the conference arena. The organizers of the trade show have announced that wire 2026 will feature the debut of the wire & Cable FORUM, scheduled in Hall 13 from April 13 to 17, alongside the wire & Tube trade fairs.

The initiative builds on the successful experience of the Tube FORUM 2024 and on the rich program of side events introduced during the previous edition of wire and Tube now evolving into a more structured and recognizable format under the motto come & connect.

Key topics and industry partners

Designed as a technical conference, the wire & Cable FORUM will host expert lectures and panel discussions on the industry’s key themes, including digitalization, automation, sustainability, and advanced materials. The lecture series will be organized in cooperation with leading industry partners: VDKM, IWMA, ACIMAF, Netzwerkdraht e.V., and WCISA.

Messe Düsseldorf has also developed dedicated marketing packages and communication services for companies wishing to contribute as speakers or sponsors. Participation will be free of charge for all registered fair visitors.

According to Daniel Ryfisch, Director of wire & Tube at Messe Düsseldorf, combining the exhibition and conference formats creates “a place where innovation and networking come together in a unique way.” By integrating a structured conference within the exhibition, Messe Düsseldorf confirms its role as a hub for knowledge exchange and business networking in the wire and cable sector.
