The Wire Association International reported that the Interwire Points Meeting 2026 delivered strong participation, with exhibition space assignments increasing significantly compared to the previous cycle.
The meeting, held March 26 at WAIโs office in Madison, plays a key role in determining booth selection order for Interwire 2027.
Interwire Points Meeting 2026 drives booth allocation
The Interwire Points Meeting 2026 assigned approximately 76,800 sq ft of exhibition space to 152 companies.
Exhibitors accumulate points over time, which determine their priority in selecting booth locations for the show floor.
Participation increases nearly 20%
The total exhibition space assigned represents a 19% increase compared to the 2025 Points Meeting, reflecting growing interest in the event.
WAI President David Fisher said the increase signals both the importance of the show and a positive outlook for the wire and cable industry.
Event supported by industry volunteers
The meeting was supported by volunteers including Mike Mathiasen and Joe Snee, who helped facilitate the booth allocation process.
Their participation underscores the collaborative nature of WAIโs event planning and member engagement.
Additional sales support floor plan growth
Following the Points Meeting, remaining booth space is offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Additional sales activity at wire 2026 contributed to the current floor plan, with approximately 8,100 sq ft sold to 18 companies during that event.
Interwire 2027 continues to build momentum
With Interwire 2027 scheduled for May 4โ6, continued demand may lead to further expansion of the exhibition floor.
