The UL and IWCS China 2017 Cable & Connectivity Symposium is the premier Asian venue to learn of new technologies in cable and connectivity materials, products, processes and applications.
Shrewsbury, PA (October 4, 2016) IWCS Inc., producer of the International Cable & Connectivity Symposium, and UL, a global independent safety science company, have collaborated to establish a regional Asian conference in Shanghai, China. The UL and IWCS China 2017 Cable & Connectivity Symposium is the region’s leading forum for the exchange of information on technical innovations and solutions in the industry. Based on the IWCS educational symposium format, the China symposium will be held on April 25-27, 2017 at the Marriott Shanghai City Centre.
“We were pleased to be asked by UL, a prominent and respected global organization, to offer this additional regional conference in China,” says Robert Wessels, Jr. of CommScope, Inc. and Chairman of IWCS. “This is our 65th year of the global symposium conducted in the United States and we are now looking forward to presenting topics to a broader audience in Asia, particularly to those who cannot travel here,” adds Wessels. The IWCS Symposium has been the leading worldwide conference for peer reviewed papers and presentations on technologies and trends in cable and connectivity for the communications, data, electronics, power, industrial, automotive and aerospace industries.
L.F. Lai, VP and General Manager of UL’s Wire and Cable division agrees, stating, “The IWCS Connectivity Symposium is an internationally reputable conference for the wire and cable industry with a well-established history.” Reliable and higher speed connectivity is an increasing need, which is being fulfilled by the fast development of emerging technologies from global industry players. “As China is the largest market for wire and cable connectivity with the strongest need for acquiring the knowledge of latest innovations, it is logical to establish this regional event in China as the premier venue to learn of new technologies in cable and connectivity materials, products, processes and applications.” Lai continues, “IWCS is the most renowned and influential global symposium organizer in the field of connectivity technologies, and we believe that IWCS is the most effective at presenting technical papers.”
In the technical conference, speakers present peer reviewed papers on timely, informative topics selected from hundreds of submitted abstracts from top firms around the globe. A keynote speaker addresses the attendees at a plenary luncheon. The executive track features prominent speakers and topics of interest to general and commercial management. The professional development program includes core courses in fiber, copper, materials, and new courses on the issues and technologies of high concern such as codes and standards. A supplier exhibition displays the latest products and services from the important suppliers in the cable and connectivity industry.
The IWCS Symposium Committee generates an extremely high caliber program for each year’s conference, with over 100 papers and presentations in 20 compelling sessions over three full days. The UL and IWCS China 2017 Cable & Connectivity Symposium is an opportunity to explore discussions on regional topical issues, learn about new technologies and network with global industry colleagues.
