ICF Congress Moscow 2009

Despite the difficult economic environment 105 delegates found their way
to Moscow. Our thanks go to the team of VNIIKP lead by Prof. Peshkov.
From the reactions we received at and after the Congress we know that the
first-hand information received about the Russian wire & cable industry was very much appreciated.

ICF Congress Cape Town 2010

This year’s Congress will be held at the Mount Nelson Hotel from 19 to 23 October. The ICF Standing Commission has already made substantial progress in the
development of the program and a number of excellent, high-ranking speakers have already agreed to present.
We will again provide a focus on the region of the Congress with political and industrial keynote speeches. As a new element of our Congress we are planning to organize a professional visit of a site relevant to our industry.

The program will also cover topics such as:
•  future electric networks in developed and developing countries
•  electrification in Africa and India
•  how energy efficiency & savings affect international standardisation,
•  certification and market surveillance, and
•  the question of sufficient bandwidth will be discussed.

On behalf of the Standing Commission our gratitude goes to the team of Aberdare, which is providing tremendous support in the organization of both the program and the professional visit.
The invitations with the detailed program will be sent to all member companies by the end of April.
