Tickets are now available!
Join IWMA after a busy day at wire China for an unforgettable evening of networking, conversation and connection above one of the world’s most recognisable skylines.
Taking place on Wednesday 23 September, IWMA members, colleagues and industry friends will gather at CHAR Bar, Hotel Indigo Shanghai on the Bund for an exclusive evening overlooking the Huangpu River, the Bund and Pudong’s iconic skyline.
With its spectacular rooftop setting, The Great Connection provides the perfect opportunity to step away from the exhibition floor, reconnect with industry colleagues and continue conversations in a relaxed and memorable environment.
As guests arrive, IWMA’s signature Aperol Spritz will once again be waiting to welcome them – familiar, vibrant and unmistakably IWMA – setting the tone for an evening of networking, light bites, live entertainment and meaningful connections across the global wire and cable industry.
Because at IWMA, when the exhibition hall closes, the conversations do not end. In Shanghai, they simply rise to the rooftop.
