The Wire Association International (WAI) will bring back several of its most popular training programs for Interwire 2027. As a result, these courses will complement new educational initiatives while continuing to focus on wire manufacturing and extrusion.
The returning programs include WAI’s Fundamentals of Wire Manufacturing Course and the Advanced Extrusion Workshop. Notably, the extrusion workshop will be presented for the third time due to strong industry demand.
Fundamentals Course Builds Foundation
The Fundamentals of Wire Manufacturing Course will again provide essential knowledge for industry professionals. In particular, it is designed for those new to the wire and cable industry or those seeking a broader understanding of manufacturing processes.
Over time, the course has become a core part of WAI’s educational portfolio. It introduces key processes, materials, and technologies used in wire production.
Because of its broad scope, the course serves a wide audience. For example, it benefits professionals in sales, management, engineering, and operations who need a stronger understanding of manufacturing.
Advanced Extrusion Workshop Returns
Meanwhile, the Advanced Extrusion Workshop will return following strong demand. The 2027 session marks the third offering of the program.
Previously, the workshop reached sold-out attendance at Interwire 2025. Therefore, its return reflects continued interest in specialized technical training.
The program is designed for extrusion professionals seeking deeper expertise. It provides advanced instruction along with practical, real-world insights that can be applied directly to manufacturing operations.
More broadly, the workshop highlights the need for advanced-level education. As the industry evolves, experienced professionals are looking to expand their technical knowledge beyond basic concepts.
Blending Established and New Programs
The returning courses will be part of a broader Interwire 2027 educational lineup. In addition, the event will feature new programs focused on manufacturing safety, digital transformation, and nonferrous rod production.
Together, these offerings create a more complete learning experience. As a result, attendees at different career stages can find relevant training across multiple areas of the wire and cable industry.
Interwire 2027 will take place May 4–6, 2027, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
