Prysmian will play a major role as Partner Level Sponsor at  the 63^rd edition of the International Wire & Cable & Connectivity Symposium (IWCS), which will take place from 9 to 12 November 2014 at the Rhode Island Convention Center, Providence, USA.

The IWCS is committed to the advancement in technology in the wire and cable and connectivity industries, and underwrites that commitment with the support for education of tomorrow's engineers and scientists. For over 60 years, the International Wire & Cable Symposium and Conference has been the premier technology event in the wire and cable and connectivity industry. Moreover, it is recognized as the most important symposium for the Telecom Cable industry worldwide. The event will also offer the opportunity for industry suppliers to present their latest products and services at the Suppliers' Exhibition.

I would like to take this opportunity to highlight the great commitment of our technical community and the high quality of the technical papers it has prepared. This reflects the day-by-day work that allows us not only to maintain but also increase our leadership and secure our future. I also wish to thank all the colleagues who contributed to this important event with their work and expertise, said Lluís-Ramon Sales Casals, Telecom R&D Director at Prysmian.
