Joint conference in Cincinnati will examine day-to-day manufacturing activities

THE INSULATION AND COIL winding conference known as EIC/EMCW, being held at the Cincinnati Convention Center Oct. 2628, will concentrate on improving day-to-day industry processes.

Manufacturers, distributors, and engineers are among those who will look for answers to practical issues facing their industry at the EIC/ EMCW '99 Conference and Expo, whose theme this year is "Searching for Solutions."

The Electrical Insulation Conference and Electric Manufacturing & Coil Winding Expo, jointly held every other year, aim to provide answers to questions about coils that those in the electrical/electronics industry encounter daily.

EIC/EMCW '97 focused on tapping into the global marketplace and fending off competitors, and while that is still a challenge that the electrical/ electronics industry faces, according to conference chairman Bill Simpson, this year's event will focus on improving the development, manufacture, and marketing of products in the industry.

By improving the processes that companies use, according to Simpson, companies are in turn improving their ability to position themselves within the global marketplace.

The joint event, sponsored by EIC, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, and the Electrical Manufacturing and Coil Winding Association, is able to offer a comprehensive view of products and technologies for the industry because-according to Simpson-the "joint show provides a larger audience to pull from" and therefore has "twice as much to offer."

Simpson went on to say that the conference has stayed relatively the same size over the years, having always had a good content base to work with, but that the exposition has grown over the years due to improved content, which is attracting more and more exhibitors.

The Cincinnati Convention Center, located in downtown Cincinnati, will house the Conference and Exposition. The center is integrated into the city's Skywalk system and provides convenient travel between the Center and headquarter hotels, parking, banks, shops, and other services.
