MADISON, CT—The Wire Association International Inc. (WAI) plans to co-locate its biennial Wire Expo with the Electrical Wire Processing Technology Expo (EWPTE) in Milwaukee. The two events will take place at the Baird Center on May 6-7, 2026
“The adjacency of the [trade shows] brings together the complete wire and cable ecosystem under one roof, creating meaningful opportunities for industry professionals to explore the entire value chain,” says David Bergman, executive director of the Wiring Harness Manufacturers Association. “The co-location enables manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and end users to see and experience novel technologies, forge strategic partnerships and advance the industry.
“I’m pleased for all our members and attendees to be able to participate in these two outstanding trade shows in one place,” explains Bergman.
“I am looking forward to the Wire Expo and the EWPTE being held together next May,” adds David Fisher, first vice president of WAI. “It’s a great chance for both groups to co-mingle and truly get a feel for each side of the wire and cable industry—from manufacturing to downstream end use, and all the products and equipment that go into it. The people who make this happen are key to the success of both groups.”
