IPC COMMUNITY 76 SUMMER 2023 to play a significant part in the most vital areas of our lives, so too will the pivotal role of WHMA/IPC." Highlights included seven professional development courses and 19 technical confer- ence sessions that provided new information and data, skills, and techniques and trends related to the cable and wire harness industry, a keynote from Dr. Kenneth Harris on building the future, and ample networking opportuni- ties. From survey responses, attendees clearly achieved their business objectives while at the event. "I really enjoyed attending my first EWPTE and getting to see new technology and equipment that could potentially increase our company's productivity," said Jessica Mur- phree, associate quality engineer, Syncro Cor- poration. "Every booth, supplier, and vendor actually took time to demonstrate equipment and answer questions. Everyone was very helpful in pointing us in the right direction of needs based on our company's products. Our goal was to find some cost savings in products and increase employee efficiency. I feel con- fident that we have found everything that we needed at EWPTE 2023. This was my first trip to Milwaukee and this particular expo, and I hope to attend more in the future." The EWPTE 2023 experience was equally positive for the 185 exhibitors (up 19% from 2022) who showcased their products and services spanning 43,400 net square feet of show floor space (up 17% from 2022) and gen- erated a total of 12,063 leads according to the lead data count, a 35% increase over leads in 2022. "We have exhibited at EWPTE for many years, and this has always been a great show to attend and meet new potential customers while re-uniting and exchanging new ideas with our existing customer base," said Brian Betti, president, LPMS-USA. "This year was exceptional. We had the two busiest show days in our years of exhibiting that generated a higher amount of quality leads from potential customers than we have previously." In 2024, EWPTE will return to the Baird Center, May 14-16. For more information, visit www.electricalwireshow.com.
