LONDON, May 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- CRU's 13th Wire & Cable Conference will be arriving in Brussels, the centre for European policymaking, on 11-12 June 2019.
This well-established annual gathering for leaders of the wire and cable industry, offers valuable peer-to-peer networking, and interactive discussions between cable-makers, distributors and other industry experts from around the world. Influential market-leaders will share their strategies and insights into the challenges facing both the metallic wire and optical fibre insulated cable industries.
Delegates will gain access to expert opinions on the macro economic and technical trends specific to the power, communication, construction and automotive sector which are impacting their businesses. The event offers a dual-streamed agenda, covering both energy cable and communication cable issues, bringing together the entire wire and cable supply chain.
This year's conference will have a special focus on the use of wire and cable in automotive industries with an opening presentation featuring Markus Thoma, Managing Director of automotive wire industry leader, LEONI Kabel GmbH. Markus will look to disseminate how trends towards connectivity and electric vehicles are likely to impact the wire and cable industry.
