Interwire 2021 Rescheduled to October in Atlanta
The Wire Association International (WAI) has rescheduled its flagship Interwire trade show and annual meeting to October 26–27, 2021. The event will take place at the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) in Atlanta, Georgia.
Event Postponement and New Dates
Originally planned for May 11–13, 2021, WAI moved the event after evaluating COVID-19 conditions, vaccine availability, and ongoing travel restrictions.
On December 10, 2020, the WAI Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve the new dates. As a result, the organization aims to deliver a safer and more accessible event for attendees and exhibitors.
Updated Event Format
WAI will also adjust the event format. Instead of running for two and a half days, Interwire 2021 will now take place over two full days. However, organizers plan to extend exhibition hours to maximize engagement.

Meanwhile, Steven Fetteroll, WAI Executive Director, confirmed that WAI continues to coordinate with the GWCC and local hotels to ensure a smooth transition.
