Registration is now open for the Electrical Wire Processing Technology Expo (EWPTE), to be held at Baird Center May 6-8, 2025, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Produced by the Wiring Harness Manufacturer’s Association (WHMA) and IPC, EWPTE is the only trade show exclusively representing the cable and wire harness manufacturing industry, including manufacturers, suppliers, and customers.
With a show floor featuring the industry’s leading suppliers and product innovators, attendees will get exclusive access to new technologies and suppliers to help find solutions to challenging wire problems. There will also be a range of professional development courses with content designed to deliver new information, skills, and techniques related to the cable and wire harness industry.
Technical conference sessions presented by engineers, researchers, academics, technical experts, and industry leaders will provide new technical data and significant results from experiments and case studies and share new techniques and trends of interest. Attendees can also use networking opportunities to connect with industry leaders and subject matter experts.
Brian Schneider, an engineering manager for routed systems at Harley-Davidson Motor Company, will present this year’s keynote address, “Modern Technology Meets Legacy: Harley Davidson’s Wire Harness Integration,” on Wednesday, May 7. Schneider will provide insight into the technology advancements of Harley-Davidson motorcycles, the impacts of wire harness construction, and how Harley-Davidson integrates advanced wire harness technology to meet modern customer demands while preserving the iconic look, sound, and feel that define the brand.
“We welcome attendees from all career stages to EWPTE, where they can learn the latest information about wire harnessing on the show floor, through courses, technical conference sessions, peer-to-peer networking opportunities, and events with exhibitors,” said Parker Garrett, WHMA Board Chair. “Participants at EWPTE will be able to transform the ideas and innovations gained during the event into tangible, real-world solutions and business opportunities.”

The Right Blend: Mixed Wireless Technologies
05/08/2025 | Kirsten Zima, Siemens EDAA common trend recently is to employ as many radios as possible on a single PCB. With the increase of wireless standards and the downscaling of PCB size, it can be difficult to know what the most critical design parameters are to focus on. In this article, we’ll discuss the most important considerations to make when designing with mixed wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi, on a single PCB. These considerations include antennas, frequencies, FCC compliance, shielding, and layout with and without transition vias.
