Wire Expo 2026 is off to a strong start after the Oct. 2 Points Meeting at WAI headquarters, where 91 companies secured 111 of 179 available exhibit units for the May 6-7 show at Milwaukee’s Baird Center. Remaining booths, including potential converted spaces, will be sold first-come, first-served, with added draw from co-location with the Electrical Wire Processing Technology Expo

Wire Expo 2026 got off to a very strong start at the Oct. 2 Points Meeting at WAI headquarters in Madison, Connecticut, where 111 units were assigned for the show floor on May 6-7 at the Baird Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

WAI staff, joined by Mike Mathiasen, Mathiasen Machinery, were busy much of the day for the procedure of allocating show floor positions based on past activity. WAI Sales Director Shannon Timme reported that a total of 91 companies accounted for 111 of the 179 available units. There are other spots that could be converted to an additional 12 booths.

“At this point, all the remaining booths will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis,” said Timme. She noted that there is much interest in the event, especially as it will once again be co-located with the Electrical Wire Processing Technology Expo. That previously happened at the same venue in 2010.
