CRU Wire & Cable Conference, London
25-27 July 2022 |
| The premier meeting place for the world’s wire and cable supply chain returned to a live, in-person gathering. CRU’s Wire & Cable 2022 Conference was held on 25-27 July 2022, at the Sofitel London St. James Hotel. After two years of virtual connection, it was an unmissable chance to meet face-to-face, share a meal, join a drinks reception, and see your industry peers in the real world once again. The conference explored both energy and communications network developments, across the full value chain for insulated wire and cable products produced from copper, aluminium, optical fibre, and associated materials.
