IPC/WHMA and Baird Center announce that for the second consecutive year, Electrical Wire Processing Technology Expo (EWPTE) has been recognized as a top 100 fastest growing show in the United States for net square footage and number of exhibiting companies by Trade Show Executive.
EWPTE, the cable and wire harness industry’s exclusive trade show, drew 213 exhibitors in 2024 (up from 185 in 2023) who showcased their products and services over 50,100 net square feet of show floor space (up from 43,400 in 2023). EWPTE 2024 grew by 15 percent in both number of exhibiting companies and net square footage of show floor space.
“EWPTE’s growth demonstrates its increasing value to the wire harness manufacturing industry,” said Alicia Balonek, IPC senior director of trade shows and events. “This recognition confirms the show’s status as a must-attend event for cable and wire harness industry professionals.”
“The long-awaited Baird Center modernization and expansion opened in May of 2024, which now brings our exposition hall to 300,000 contiguous square feet,” said Megan Seppmann, vice president of sales at the Wisconsin Center District. “Milwaukee and the region are an ideal hub of manufacturing innovation, and now the expanded Baird Center ensures that the programming and experience for EWPTE clients and guests will continue to expand. The growth of EWPTE in this area has only begun and we can’t wait to welcome everyone through our doors in May.”
EWPTE 2025, to be held May 6-8, 2025, in Milwaukee, Wis., will feature a show floor hosting the industry’s leading suppliers and product innovators, a range of professional development courses, and 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.
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.
